1.1 This test method covers the determination of the density of glass or nonporous solids of density from
1.1 g ⁄cm3 to
3.3 g ⁄cm3 . It can be used to determine the apparent density of ceramics or solids, preferably of known porosity.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.3 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
