8. VISCOSITY CALIBRATION (FOR ALL MODELS)
With the SV-H series, when calibration is needed, use the stand set (AX-SV-51, sold
separately)
Viscosity calibration is to correct the viscosity value.
Two calibration methods are available: one-point calibration and two-point calibration, using
standard viscosity fluids.
It is recommended that calibration be performed using a fluid with a known viscosity value
which is close to the sample viscosity.
When the measuring range is great, perform two-point calibration. Two-point calibration
requires two standard viscosity fluids (high viscosity and low viscosity) that are appropriate for
the measuring range.
When measuring the viscosity near 1 mPa
⋅
s, simplified calibration using purified water, which
is a one-key operation, is available. The SV-1A/1H/10A/10H/ has a built-in function to perform
an automatic temperature compensation on the viscosity value, based on the temperature of
the purified water used.
In one-point and two-point calibration, the viscosity of a fluid with a known value, such as a
standard viscosity fluid, is measured, displayed, corrected digitally and saved in memory.
To obtain the absolute viscosity value precisely, use the correction value as described in
"5-5-2 At Calibration".
If the wrong calibration data such as a correction value have been entered, the viscometer
condition can be restored. For details, refer to "Initialization (
Clr
)" of the function setting.
