Calibrate Temperature (VISCPRO II)
Calibrate the temperature of the CAV 4.2 whenever the instrument is moved, a new bath temperature is
to be used, or the bath fluid is refilled. The instrument is calibrated by inserting a thermometer through
an access hole in the display hood, measuring the actual temperature of the bath fluid, and entering
that temperature into the CAV 4.2 software.
1.
If it is raised, lower the display hood and plumbing lid.
2.
Carefully insert a thermometer through the access hole in the display hood and into the bath until
the top of the thermometer is in the middle of the capillary portion of the viscometer tube. The
thermometer passes through the same hole in the top of the bath unit that was used to fill the unit
with fluid.
3.
Wait for the thermometer to adjust to the temperature of the bath fluid. Read the reference
temperature.
