The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) and SGS perform ASTM D1505 testing to determine the density of solid plastics using gradient column techniques. Density is critical for polymer identification, quality control, and material performance evaluation. We emphasize accuracy, repeatability, and clear reporting. Our laboratories adhere to strict procedures to support informed decisions about polymer materials.
What Does ASTM D1505 Reveal About Polymer Quality?
ASTM D1505 assesses polymer structure and consistency. Density indicates resin purity, filler content, and processing conditions. Even small variations can signal significant performance changes. Clients use our polymer testing services to:
- Support regulatory or specification compliance
- Verify material identity before production
- Evaluate the impact of additives or modifiers
- Confirm batch-to-batch consistency
Our ASTM D1505 Testing Clients
Many industries rely on precise density data to ensure product quality. We support the needs of our polymer testing clients with prompt scheduling, clear communication, and detailed reporting to validate materials, address production issues, and compare resins. ATS and SGS serve clients including:
- R&D teams developing new polymer formulations
- Automotive and aerospace suppliers
- Material distributors and compounders
- Packaging and consumer goods producers
