ASTM D1217
Standard Test Method for Density and Relative Density (Specific Gravity) of Liquids by Bingham Pycnometer
Organization: | ASTM |
Publication Date: | 1 December 2015 |
Status: | inactive |
Page Count: | 6 |
ICS Code (Measurement of volume, mass, density, viscosity): | 17.060 |
scope:
This test method covers the measurement of the density of pure hydrocarbons or petroleum distillates boiling between 90 °C and 110 °C that can be handled in a normal fashion as a liquid at the specified test temperatures of 20 °C and 25 °C.
This test method provides a calculation procedure for the conversion of density to relative density (specific gravity).
WARNING-Mercury has been designated by many
regulatory agencies as a hazardous material that can cause central
nervous system, kidney and liver damage. Mercury, or its vapor, may
be hazardous to health and corrosive to materials. Caution should
be taken when handling mercury and mercury containing products. See
the applicable product Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for
details and EPA's website-http://www.e
