ASTM D 6606 Document Information:
Title
Standard Test Method for Viscosity and Yield of Vehicles and Varnishes by the Duke Viscometer
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Nov 10, 2000
Scope:
This test method covers the procedure for determining the viscosity of
varnishes, ink vehicles, and
similar liquids that are essentially nonvolatile and unreactive under
ordinary room conditions
using the Duke Automated high-shear rod and collar
viscometer.(Footnote 2)
The instrument in this test method is similar in principle to the
falling-rod viscometer described
in Test Method D 4040 except that the collar is motor driven and the
range of available shear
stresses is considerably greater. This instrument is capable of
measured and extrapolated viscosity
and yield values provided the proper model is chosen for the given
application. See Section 6 for
the ranges of specified models.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other
units of measurement are
included in this standard.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, that may be
associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this
standard to establish any
appropriate safety and health practices and determine the
applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to use.
Footnote 2 - The sole source of supply of an automated high shear rod
and collar viscometer known
to the committee at this time is Duke Custom Systems, Inc., Pleasant
View, TN. If you are aware of
alternative suppliers, please provide this information to ASTM
International Headquarters. Your
comments will receive careful consideration at a meeting of the
responsible technical
committee,(Footnote 1) which you may attend.
Footnote 1 - This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM
Committee D01 on Paint and Related
Coatings, Materials, and Applications and is the direct responsibility
of Subcommittee D01.37 on
Ink Vehicles.
