Historical Standard: ASTM D6606-00 Standard Test Method for Viscosity and Yield of Vehicles and Varnishes by the Duke Viscometer
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D6606
1. Scope
1.1 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.
1.2 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.
1.3 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.
