This part of BS EN ISO deals with the sampling and testing of paints, coatings, varnishes and related products. It specifies the general procedures that should be followed to determine the dynamic viscosity of these products at a rate of shear between 9 000 s-1 and 12 000 s-1. This provides information about the resistance offered by the material to brushing, spraying and roller coating during the application. The methods specified in this standard are suitable for all paints and varnishes.
How does it work?The viscosity measurements set out within BS EN ISO 2884-1 cover a variety of topics, including sampling, checking the apparatus and temperature control, and carrying out the procedure after the sample has been prepared. The standard also looks at how to clean apparatus and draw up an accurate test report.
Who should buy it?- Manufacturers of paints, varnishes and coatings
- Anyone responsible for viscosity measurements of paints and varnishes
