Plastics. Determination of water content. | Status: Revised, Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope 1.1 This International Standard specifies methods for the determination of the water content of plastics in the form of powder, granules, and finished articles. These methods do not test for water absorption (kinetics and equilibrium) of plastics as measured by ISO 62. Method A is suitable for the determination of water content as low as 0,1 % with an accuracy of 0,1 %. Method B and Method C are suitable for the determination of water content as low as 0,01 % with an accuracy of 0,01 %. Water content is an important parameter for processing materials and has to remain below the level specified in the appropriate material standard.
