This Standard sets out a method for determining the volume percentage of open and closed cells of rigid cellular plastics by measurement; first of the geometrical volume and then of the impenetrable volume of test specimens. This method also permits taking into consideration (for use as a correction) the volume of cells opened during testspecimen preparation by cutting. The results given by this Method can be used for comparative purposes only.
