Maintenance
In order to keep the HTHP Viscometer in good working condition, proper
cleaning and maintenance are essential. After each test, immediately remove
the test cell and rotor and clean them thoroughly to avoid corrosion and
caking.
During high-temperature tests, the test fluid may expand up into the torsion
assembly. After each test, inspect the torsion assembly and the bottom jewel
bearing for test fluid. Also, check the rotor bearing for any residue. If any is
present, clean the parts thoroughly, preferably with a small ultrasonic cleaner.
Select a cleaning solution based on the test fluid.
