Bibliography 0 @IsO2007-Allrightsreserved ii ISO 4575:2007(E) Foreword IsO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (isO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through isO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been non-governmental, in liaison with sO, also take part in the work. IsO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/lEC Directives, Part 2 The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. rights.

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (IsO 4575:1985), which has been technically revised. ISO 2007 - All rights reserved INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 4575:2007(E) Plastics Poly(vinyl chloride) pastes Determination of apparent viscosity using the Severs rheometer Scope This International Standard specifies a method for determining the apparent viscosity, at high shear, of poly(vinyl chloride) (PvC) pastes prepared from PvC paste polymers and plasticizers, using the Severs rheometer It applies in particular to "standard pastes" prepared in accordance with IsO 4612 or IsO 11468. Principle A sample of the paste is placed in a Severs rheometer and the jacket set to a defined temperature. The flow viscosity are calculated for each flow rate corresponding to each of the pressures applied. Optionally, a graph of apparent viscosity as a function of the shear rate can be prepared. 3 Apparatus 3.1 Severs rheometer, of capacity 500 ml to 1 000 ml, of one of the two basic designs shown in Figure 1, andconsistingessentiallyofthefollowingcomponents: 3.1.1 Measuring vessel, for example a stainless-steel or bronze cylinder with polished internal surfaces to 3.1.2Jacket, connected to a system for temperature control which allows the contents of the body of the measuring vessel to be maintained at a temperature of (23 ± 0,5) °C. 3.1.3 Non-deformable die, for example of stainless steel or PTFE, consisting of a cylindrical tube which can be fitted in airtight fashion to the bottom of the measuring vessel. The outer and internal surfaces of the tube shall be polished. The die is defined by the diameter and the height of the tube. Two dies, A and B, are Table 1 Dimensions of the dies Dimensions in millimetres Dimension Die A Die B Radius of tube 1,5 ± 0,05 1,5 ± 0,05 Height 45 ± 0,5 22,5 ± 0,5 3.1.4 Piston (if necessary), of rigid plastic material with a diameter slightly less than that of the measuring cavitate. (Its use also simplifies the cleaning of the instrument.) A sketch of the piston is given in Figure
