Comprehensive Guide to ISO 1183-1 Determination of Density of Plastics Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

ISO 1183-1 is an international standard that specifies the methods for determining the density of plastics. The standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is widely recognized as a benchmark for measuring the density of plastic materials.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 1183-1 testing is governed by various national and international standards, including:

  • ISO 1183-1:2017

  • ASTM D792-09 (2018)

  • EN ISO 1183-1:2005

  • TSE 1112:2016

    • These standards outline the requirements for determining the density of plastics, including test methods, sampling procedures, and reporting formats.

    Standard Development Organizations

    Standard development organizations play a crucial role in maintaining and updating international standards. These organizations include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

  • Turkish Standards Institution (TSE)

    • These organizations work together to develop, maintain, and update international standards, ensuring that they remain relevant and effective.

    Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards evolve over time as new technologies and methodologies emerge. The standard development process typically involves:

    1. Identifying gaps or deficiencies in existing standards

    2. Conducting research and gathering data on the latest developments

    3. Developing proposals for updates or new standards

    4. Reviewing and approving proposed changes

    5. Publishing updated or new standards

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    The following standard numbers and scopes are relevant to ISO 1183-1 testing:

  • ISO 1183-1:2017 - Determination of density of plastics (injection-moulded specimens)

  • ASTM D792-09 (2018) - Density of Plastics by the Pyknometer Method

  • EN ISO 1183-1:2005 - Determination of density of plastics (injection-moulded specimens)

    • Standard Compliance Requirements

    Standard compliance is essential for industries that require precise measurements, such as:

  • Aerospace and defense

  • Automotive

  • Medical devices

  • Food packaging

  • Pharmaceutical industry

    • Compliance with ISO 1183-1 testing ensures that materials meet specific requirements, ensuring product safety, reliability, and performance.

    Why This Test is Needed and Required

    The ISO 1183-1 test is required for various reasons:

  • Ensures accurate measurements of plastic density

  • Enables comparison of different materials

  • Facilitates quality control and assurance

  • Supports regulatory compliance

  • Enhances product safety and reliability

    • Conducting this test helps manufacturers meet industry-specific requirements, ensuring that products meet necessary standards.

    Business and Technical Reasons for Conducting the Test

    Business reasons:

  • Ensures competitive advantage through accurate measurements

  • Supports innovation and research development

  • Fosters international trade and market access

  • Enhances customer confidence and trust

    • Technical reasons:

  • Ensures precise measurements of plastic density

  • Facilitates comparison of different materials

  • Supports quality control and assurance

    • Consequences of Not Performing This Test

    Not performing the ISO 1183-1 test can lead to:

  • Inaccurate measurements, compromising product performance and safety

  • Non-compliance with industry-specific requirements

  • Increased costs due to rework or replacement of defective products

  • Loss of customer confidence and trust

    • Step-by-Step Explanation of the Test

    The ISO 1183-1 test involves the following steps:

    1. Preparing injection-moulded specimens according to ISO 294/1:1997

    2. Measuring the volume of the specimen using a calibrated measuring cylinder

    3. Measuring the mass of the specimen using a balance with an accuracy of 0,01 g

    4. Calculating the density of the plastic material

    Testing Equipment and Instruments Used

    The following equipment is used for the ISO 1183-1 test:

  • Calibrated measuring cylinders (ISO 8653:2009)

  • Balances with an accuracy of 0,01 g (ISO 649:1999)

  • Thermometer (ISO 5725-6:1994)

    • Testing Environment Requirements

    The testing environment must meet the following requirements:

  • Temperature: between 20C and 25C

  • Humidity: between 40 and 60

  • Pressure: at sea level or under standard atmospheric conditions

    • How Test Results are Documented and Reported

    The test report must include the following information:

  • Date of testing

  • Name and address of the laboratory

  • Description of the specimen

  • Measured values (volume, mass, density)

  • Calculated results (density)

    • The test report is typically presented in a tabular format, with each row representing a different specimen.

    Reporting Formats

    The ISO 1183-1 test report must conform to the following formats:

  • Tabulated format (ISO 1101:2012)

  • Graphical format (ISO 16072:2004)
