3.3 Placing the viscometer into the Viscosity Measuring Unit ViscoClock
•
Press the fixing plate (10) upwards against the handle plate (12), → Exhibit 3.
The following applies to Ubbelohde viscometers:
•
Insert the viscometer from below in an angle through the guidance plate (3), and then insert it
vertically into the centering prism (5).
•
Lower the fixing plate (10).
•
Check proper seating of the silicone plug on filling tube (3) (silicone plug 11D) and capillary tube
(2) (silicone plug 11S).
•
The viscometer is fastened, → Fig. 4.
The following applies to Micro Oswald viscometers:
•
Insert the Micro Oswald viscometer into the stand (6) of the Viscosity Measuring Unit ViscoClock
in such a manner that the capillary tube is located as is shown in Exhibits 3 + 4, but the filling
tube is inserted into the oblong hole of the guidance plate {9).in this positlon the filling tube of the
viscometer is located under the sillcone membrane (17).The membrane rod (16) is located in its
upper position - filling tube is open.
•
Lower the fixing plate (10).
•
The hand pump "sucking" VZ 6554 is a necessary prerequisite for Micro Ostwald viscometers.
