Paints and varnishes - Determination of viscosity using rotational viscometers - Part 1: Absolute viscosity measurement with cone-plate measuring geometry at high shear rates
This document specifies the general procedure to be followed in determining the dynamic viscosity of unpigmented coating materials, such as paints, varnishes and related products, as well as binders at a shear rate range between 9 000 s−1 and 12 000 s−1. It describes an absolute viscosity measurement with cone-plate measuring geometry at high shear rates.The measured value gives information about the resistance offered by the material to brushing, spraying and roller coating during application.The method specified in this document is suitable for all paints and varnishes whether they are Newtonian in behaviour or not. For materials containing dispersions of large particles, the measuring geometry is expected to be adapted.

This part of ISO 2884 is one of a series dealing with the sampling and testing of paints, varnishes and related products. It supplements ISO 2431:1993, Paints and varnishes — Determination of flow time by use of flow cups. It specifies the general procedure to be followed in determining the dynamic viscosity of paints, varnishes and related products at a rate of shear between 9 000 s?1 and 12 000 s?1. The value obtained gives information about the resistance offered by the material to brushing, spraying and roller coating during application. The method specified in this part of ISO 2884 is suitable for all paints and varnishes whether they are Newtonian in behaviour or not. Materials containing dispersions of large particles will produce spurious results.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

At a glance, you will be able to identify the additions, deletions or modifications to a text, table, figure and formula.
