This International Standard describes a method with two procedures for the assessment of pigment or carbon black
particle and agglomerate size and degree of dispersion in polyolefin pipes, fittings and compounds.
The method is applicable to polyolefin pipes and fittings, as well as raw m ## Source - https://isopublicstorageprod.blob.core.windows.net/opendata/_latest/iso_deliverables_metadata/csv/iso_deliverables_metadata.csv Last verified: 2026-08-05.
