“PreHeat” -
This field is not used on the HTHP Viscometer.
“Cool” -
Place a check in this box to activate the cooling solenoid and
begin cooling the sample. The value in the “Temp” field must be lower
than the sample for the software to initiate cooling.
“Pressure” -
This field determines the test pressure. The drop-down list
beneath the field set the units to either PSI or kPa.
“Enable” -
Place a check in this box to enable pressure control.
“Prime” -
Place a check in this box during initial pressurization. This
function allows the cell to be pressurized without being interrupted by the
“Low Pressure Limit” (see page 23). During initial pressurization, the
pressure will be below the “Low Pressure Limit”. If “Prime” is not checked,
the test will be aborted immediately.
“Clear” -
This button removes all data from the graph.
“Analysis Model” -
This field, below the graph, displays the current Analysis
Model being used in the test. This variable is set in the Test Builder (refer to
page 27 for more information).
“Analysis Data” -
This chart shows the calculated values based on the
Analysis Model being used for the test. This data will not display until after the
analysis sweep is completed.
“Temperature”, “Shear Stress”, “Viscosity”, “Shear Rate”, “RPM” -
These fields display the current value for these variables. They are display
only. The drop-down box next to the “Shear Stress” field changes the units of
the Shear Stress variable. The units can be set to: Dyne/cm

, lb/100ft
