Testing of Resin and Polymer/Cement Compositions for Use in Construction: Methods for Determination of Density of Hardened Resin Compositions
Also Known As:
BS 6319-5:1984 standard provides guidelines for determining the density of hardened resin compositions used in construction. The standard outlines two procedures for this purpose.
The first procedure is a simple measurement method that involves measuring the weight and volume of the hardened resin composition. The weight is determined using a suitable balance, while the volume is calculated by measuring the dimensions of the hardened specimen. By dividing the weight by the volume, the density of the resin composition can be obtained.
The second method described in the standard involves the use of a water-filled pyknometer. In this procedure, the hardened specimen is weighed in air, and then suspended in water using a wire or thread. The weight of the suspended specimen in water is recorded. By subtracting the weight in water from the weight in air, the apparent volume of the specimen can be determined. Dividing the weight in air by the apparent volume gives the density of the resin composition.
These methods described in BS 6319-5:1984 provide standardized procedures for accurately determining the density of hardened resin compositions used in construction applications. Adhering to these procedures ensures consistency and reliability in the measurement of density, which is an important property for assessing the quality and performance of resin compositions in construction projects.
