6.3.1.2 Performing the Calibration Check
•
Ensure the transducer and standards are at the desired
test temperature.
•
Set the density mode to Manual Density and enter the
density of the standard to be measured and save it to
the transmitter.
•
Set the viscosity parameter to display in units of cP.
•
Place the calibration standard into containers such that
no surface of the container is within 1.5 in. of the sensor
tip of the transducer. It is recommended NOT to use the
standard bottle itself to avoid possible cross-
contamination.
•
Raise the container of the lowest viscosity standard and
immerse the entire sensor and as much of the sheath as
possible. For rod sensors, contact Galvanic for
calibration check instructions.
•
Allow the measurement reading to stabilize.
•
Confirm that the measurement reported by the
ViscoSite system is comparable to that given on the
viscosity standard for dynamic viscosity. 1 Pa*s=1cP so
there is no conversion factor. Values reported by the
ViscoSite during the calibration check may not be the
