1、Designation:D179513(Reapproved 2021)Standard Test Method forIntrinsic Viscosity of Cellulose1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1795;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number
2、 in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the intrin-sic viscosity of purified celluloses such as bleached woodpulps,cotton linters,and regene
3、rated cellulose.It is applicableto all cellulose samples with an intrinsic viscosity of 15 dL/g orless.Most native(unpurified)celluloses have intrinsic viscos-ity values too high for measurement by this test method.NOTE1The use of cuprammonium hydroxide solution for regularviscosity determination is

9、s capillary-type viscometer.Therelative viscosity is calculated and the corresponding intrinsicviscosity is read from a table.4.Significance and Use4.1 This test is a sensitive measure of the degradation ofcellulose resulting from the action of heat,light,acids,alkalies,oxidizing and reducing agents
10、,and the like,used in itsprocessing or purification.The intrinsic viscosity value may beconverted to degree of polymerization(DP)or to intrinsicfluidity,if desired.4.2 Solutions of cellulose are not Newtonian liquids;that is,their viscosity depends upon the rate-of-shear or velocitygradient during m
11、easurement.This effect is smaller for samplesof low molecular mass(DP)and at low concentrations than forhigh-DP samples and at high concentrations.For the cellulosesand concentrations included within the limits set forth in thistest method,the effect of rate-of-shear is assumed to benegligible for r
12、eferee purposes.For other conditions and forresearch purposes this assumption may be invalid,but todiscuss ways of accounting for this effect is beyond the scopeof the present test method.5.Apparatus5.1 Viscometer,Glass,Capillary TypeThe Cannon-Fenske,Ubbelohde,or similar capillary type instrument a
