Overview
This part of ISO 8130 specifies a liquid displacement pyknometer method for the determination of the density of coating powders. The method is based on the determination of the mass and the volume of a test portion. The apparatus specified is relatively inexpensive, but the liquid displacement pyknometer method is liable to give erroneous results, particularly if the powder swells in contact with the displacement liquid does not totally displace the air between the powder particles. The liquid displacement method is much slower in execution and less accurate than the gas comparison pyknometer method in ISO 8130-2. It is only used if the same results will be obtained as for the gas comparison pyknometer method. The Committee responsible for this standard is NA 002-00-07 AA "Allgemeine Prüfverfahren für Beschichtungsstoffe und Beschichtungen" ("General test methods for coating materials and coatings") at DIN.
