Preparing the Sample Fluid
VT-05
When using cup A (no cutout), fi ll the cup with sample fl uid to the upper
brim. When using cup B (with cutout), insert the cup into the sample fl uid
up to the upper brim. For both cups A and B, the indication of the sample
amount is about 460 mL.
VT-06
Choose the rotor according to the viscosity of the sample fl uid. Depending
on the rotor, the required cup size also changes. For No. 1 and No. 2 rotors,
use a JIS 300 mL beaker* fi lled with about 350 mL of sample fl uid. For the
No. 3 rotor, use the No. 3 cup fi lled with about 150 mL of sample fl uid.
*The actual capacity of the JIS 300 mL beaker is about 420 mL.
