Go to section 2.2.2, select spindle, shear rate and time and make a zero.
Place the disposable cup holder in the well of the temperature control.
Take a disposable cup, fill it with your product (see table on the previous page for the volume
of product to be put into the measuring cup). Then place it in the disposable cup holder.
Use handle and screw of arm (see section 1.2) to gently lower the measuring head. The
centring piece must completely cover the edge of the disposable cup holder.
When the measuring head is properly positioned, there is no need to lock the position using
the screw on the arm. Also, be sure to allow sufficient time for stabilization if the measurement
temperature is different from the room temperature (at least 10 minutes) before taking your
measurement.
You can do your measurement
by clicking on “Start” (see section 2.2.2).
Once the measurement is complete, unlock the mobile from the viscometer axis and rise the
measuring head. Remove the mobile to clean it. Remove the disposable cup holder and
remove disposable cup. Also clean the temperature probe and the centring piece. It can stay
in place on the basis of the viscometer for a next measurement.
