Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic -
Determination of density
(Second revision)
(ISO 2781:2018, IDT)
This document specifies two methods of test for the determination of the density of solid vulcanized
and thermoplastic rubbers.
Such determinations are of importance in the control of the quality of a rubber compound and in the
calculation of the mass of rubber required to produce a given volume of material.
This document does not cover the determination of the relative density of rubber, which is the ratio
of the mass of a given volume of rubber to the mass of an equal volume of pure water at a given
temperature.
