GB/T 39691-2020 — This standard specifies two test methods for determining the refractive index of plastics: Method A: Refractometer method: The refractometer is used to measure the refractive index of molded parts, die-cast or extruded plates or films: Apply to each Isotropic, transparent, translucent, colored or opaque materials are also suitable for anisotropic materials: When high precision test is required, it is recommended to use this method: This method is not suitable for powder or granular samples: Method B: Microscopic immersion method (using the Baker line phenomenon): This method can be used to determine the refractive index of powdery or granular transparent materials: Generally speaking, monochromatic light should be used to avoid dispersion effects: This method is suitable for isotropic translucent materials and colored materials, but not Transparent materials and anisotropic materials:

Foreword
This standard was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1:1-2009:
This standard uses the redrafting method to modify and adopt ISO 489:1999 "Determination of Plastic Refractive Index":
Compared with ISO 489:1999, this standard has more structural adjustments: Appendix A lists the chapters of this standard and ISO 489:1999:
Article number comparison list:
The technical differences between this standard and ISO 489:1999 and the reasons are as follows:
--- Regarding normative reference documents, this standard has made adjustments with technical differences to adapt to my country's technical conditions and adjustments:
The situation is collectively reflected in Chapter 2 "Normative Reference Documents", and the specific adjustments are as follows:
* Replace ISO 291:2008 with GB/T 2918-2018 which is modified to adopt international standards:
This standard was proposed by the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation:
This standard is under the jurisdiction of the National Plastics Standardization Technical Committee (SAC/TC15):

1 Scope
This standard specifies two test methods for determining the refractive index of plastics:
Method A: Refractometer method: The refractometer is used to measure the refractive index of molded parts, die-cast or extruded plates or films: Apply to each
Isotropic, transparent, translucent, colored or opaque materials are also suitable for anisotropic materials: When high precision test is required, it is recommended to use this
method: This method is not suitable for powder or granular samples:
Method B: Microscopic immersion method (using the Baker line phenomenon): This method can be used to determine the refractive index of powdery or granular transparent materials:
Generally speaking, monochromatic light should be used to avoid dispersion effects: This method is suitable for isotropic translucent materials and colored materials, but not
Transparent materials and anisotropic materials:
2 Normative references
The following documents are indispensable for the application of this document: For dated reference documents, only the dated version applies to this article
Pieces: For undated references, the latest version (including all amendments) applies to this document:
GB/T 2918-2018 Standard environment for condition adjustment and testing of plastic specimens (ISO 291:2008, MOD)
3 Significance and use
3:1 The refractive index is a basic attribute that can be used to check the purity and composition of materials, and can be used to identify materials and design optical components: fold
The change of light rate with temperature can indicate the transition point of the material:
3:2 When method B is used cautiously by experienced operators, the precision of method B is roughly the same as that of method A (see section
Chapter 8):
4 Apparatus and materials
4:1 Method A
4:1:1 Abbe refractometer or any other refractometer that can give the same result, accurate to 0:001, and the measurement range of refractive index is from 1:300
To 1:700: Temperature control devices (4:1:3) shall be provided for the samples and prisms:
4:1:2 White light or sodium lamp as light source:
4:1:3 The temperature control of the water bath can keep the temperature of the main prism, sub-prism and sample at (23:0+/-0:5) degrees C: The circulating water should be distilled water:
4:1:4 Contact liquid:
Warning---In the process of handling, storage and disposal, contact with liquid may harm the environment: Should comply with national and local safety management and disposal
Regulations:
The refractive index of the contact liquid should be higher than the refractive index of the tested material, and the plastic material must not be softened, corroded or dissolved: Liquids listed in Table 1
It can be used for corresponding plastic materials, but other liquids that meet these requirements can also be used:
