EVO EXPERT Manual
16/105
By default, the unit for the viscosity is cP and the unit for the temperature is ºC. Moreover, the
‘VISCOSITY’ field appears with light blue background, which means that its value can be changed
by using the ‘
’ and ‘
’ keys. Press ‘ENTER’ to save the selected viscosity unit and the field
‘TEMPERATURE’ will appear highlighted with light blue background. The light blue background
indicates that the value of the field can be modified by using the ‘
’ and ‘
’ keys. Press ‘ENTER’ to
save the selected temperature units.
After the desired units have been selected, hit the ‘ENTER’ key with the ‘SAVE’ option highlighted in
light blue background. The viscometer will save the selected units and it will return to the
‘Instrument setup’ menu.
If the ‘MEM/CLEAR’ key is pressed, it will cancel the new selections made for viscosity and
temperature, returning back to the previously used settings.
8.2.3 Density. (Default density change submenu)
The value assigned to the density of the fluid being measured can be changed by means of this
submenu. By default we consider the density of water as a reference point, but you can select any
other value. The default units will be g/cm
3
of the Centimetre-gram-second system of units (CGS).
The field of the whole numbers appears highlighted in light blue background, which means that it
can be edited. Use the numerical keyboard to introduce the value desired for the density whole
numbers.
Once the digits of the whole numbers are introduced, press ‘ENTER’ to skip to the next field. Then,
the field of the decimal numbers will appear highlighted indicating that this field can be modified.
Use the numerical keyboard to introduce the decimal numbers of the density and press ‘ENTER’ to
save these numbers. In order to save the value of the density press ‘ENTER’ with the ‘SAVE’ option
highlighted in light blue background. The viscometer will return to the ‘Instrument setup’ menu.
NOTE:
If you modify the density, the viscometer will give its measurements in
cSt (centiStokes), whereas if you conserve the initial density (considered the
density by default), the measurements will be in cP (centipoises), P (Poise) or
mPa·s, Pa·s.
