BS ISO 6721-10:2015 specifies the general principles of a method for determining the dynamic
rheological properties of polymer melts at angular frequencies typically in the range of 0,01 rad·s-1 to
100 rad·s-1 by means of an oscillatory rheometer with a parallel-plate geometry. Angular frequencies
outside this range can also be used (see Note 1). The method is used to determine values of the following
dynamic rheological properties: complex shear viscosity η*, dynamic shear viscosity η', the out-of-phase
component of the complex shear viscosity η", complex shear modulus G*, shear loss modulus G", and
shear storage modulus G'. It is suitable for measuring complex shear viscosity values typically up to
~10 MPa·s (see Note 2).NOTE 1 The angular-frequency measurement range is limited by the specification of the measuring instrument
and also by the response of the specimen. When testing using angular frequencies lower than 0,1 rad?s?1, the test
time can increase significantly as the time taken to obtain a single measurement is proportional to the reciprocal
of the angular frequency. Consequently, when testing at low angular frequencies, degradation or polymerization
of the specimen is more likely to occur and have an effect on the results. At high angular frequencies, the specimen
can distort or fracture at the edge, consequently invalidating the test results.NOTE 2 The range of complex shear viscosity values that can be measured is dependent on the specimen
dimensions and also the specification of the measuring instrument. For a specimen of given dimensions, the
upper limit of the range is limited by the machine's torque capacity, angular-displacement resolution, and
compliance. However, correction can be made for compliance effects.Cross References:ISO 472ISO 5725-1ISO 6721-1All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
