WhenaULorDINULAdapterisused,thewaterbathisstabilizedatthepropertemperature:
1) PuttheproperamountofviscositystandarduidintotheULTube.(RefertotheULAdapter
instruction manual).
2) Attach the spindle (with extension link and coupling nut) onto the DV-II
+Pro.
3) Attach the tube to the mounting channel.
4) Lowerthetubeintothewaterbathreservoir,orifusingtheULA-40Ywaterjacket,connect
the inlet/outlets to the bath external circulating pump.
5) Allow 30 minutes for the viscosity standard, sample chamber and spindle to reach test temperature.
6) Measure the viscosity and record the Viscometer reading.
Note: The spindle must rotate at
least ve (5) times before readings are taken.
Calibration Procedure using a Helipath Stand and T-Bar Spindles
WhenaHelipathStandandT-Barspindlesareused:
1) Remove the T-bar spindle and select a standard LV (#1-3) or RV, HA, HB (#1-6) spindle. Follow
theproceduresforLV(#1-3)andRV,HA,HB(#1-6)Brookeldspindlesoutlinedabove.
2) T-Bar spindles should not be used for verifying calibration of the DV-II
+Pro Viscometer.
Calibration Procedure for Spiral Adapter
Brookeldrecommendsatwostepcheck.Firstverifythecalibrationoftheviscometerusingthe
standard viscometer spindles (LV #1-3, RV #2-6, HA #2-6 and HB #2-6 or cone/plate spindles)
as detailed in this appendix. Second verify the calibration of the viscometer using the Spiral
Adapter. The use of an accessory device may increase the accuracy of measurement associated
with the DV-II+Pro.
1) Placetheviscositystandarduid(inthepropercontainer)intothewaterbath.
2) Attachthespindletotheviscometer.Attachchamber(SA-1Y)andclamptotheviscometer.
3) Lower the DV-II
+Pro into measurement position. Operate the viscometer at 50 or 60 RPM
untilthechamberisfullyooded.
4) Theviscositystandarduid,togetherwiththespindle,shouldbeimmersedinthebathfora
minimumof1hour,stirringtheuidperiodically(operateat50or60RPMperiodically),prior
to taking measurements.
5) After1hour,checkthetemperatureoftheviscositystandarduidwithanaccuratethermometer.
6) If the uidisat testtemperature(+/- 0.1°C ofthespecied temperature,normally25°C),
measure the viscosity and record the viscometer reading.
Note: The spindle must rotate at least
ve (5) times for one minute, whichever is greater before readings are taken.
7) TheviscosityreadingshouldequalthecPvalueontheviscosityuidstandardtowithinthe
combined accuracies of the viscometer and the standard (as discussed in the section entitled,
Interpretation of Calibration Test Results). However, instrument accuracy is ±2% of the
maximum viscosity range and not the standard 1%.
