1 ISO 900:8 CERTIFIED Small Adapter & Operating Instructions These instructions apply to both the Standard Coupling Nut and EZ-Lock Coupling for Spindle Connection. This instruction sheet applies to the Small Adapter with stainless steel chamber (with black water jacket) as well as disposable sample chamber (with gray water jacket) that will be used with either the Standard spindle coupling nut or the EZ-Lock spindle coupling system. Spindles that can be used with the Small Adapter are identified in Tables and 4.. Mount the viscometer securely on its laboratory stand per the operating instructions that came with the laboratory stand.. Attach the locating channel (alignment bracket) to the viscometer (refer to illustration on pages and 3) by threading the mounting screw into the tapped hole in the Viscometer pivot cup. Do not overtighten. Note the position of the locating pin. 3. Connect a length of /4 or /6 inch inside-diameter hose from the circulating bath outlet to the lower (inlet) fitting on the water jacket. Connect another length of hose from the upper (outlet) fitting to the bath (inlet) fitting. Hoses should be long enough to allow proper flow to the water jacket without exerting any side thrust on the assembly during operation. Minimum temperature is 0 C and maximum temperature is C; over 60 C, use high temperature tubing. For tubing and fluid recommendations, see Table. Fluid Temperature - C to C Table Tubing Specification Recommended Fluid / Ethylene Glycol/Water Recommended Tubing Fluran R, (black) Part No. ULA-4B C to 6 C Water Gum Rubber (amber) or Fluran R (black) Part No. HT-TUBING 6 C to C Silicone Oil 3 Fluran R (black) Part No. ULA-4B Note Do Not Use Gum Rubber Tubing with This Fluid Do Not Use Gum Rubber Tubing with This Fluid R Fluran is a registered trademark of Norton Co. Use only laboratory grade ethylene glycol. Do not use automobile anti-freeze which contains materials that can damage the equipment. Fluran tubing (/6-inch ID) and clamps are offered in a kit, Part ULA-4A. 3 Do not use high viscosity oil. Recommended fluid is centipoise. 4. Attach the water jacket to the locating channel with the mounting screw. Do not overtighten. The top plate of the water jacket should contact the locating pin when ready to begin viscosity testing.. Load the removable sample chamber with the specified amount of sample fluid (refer to Table ) by leaning the chamber at a 4 angle and pouring the sample fluid slowly down the inside wall of the chamber to avoid air bubble entrapment. The sample fluid must be bubble-free to ensure an accurate reading. --

Stainless Steel s: Carefully guide the sample chamber into the water jacket from the bottom until it contacts the metal pin in the jacket top plate. Rotate the chamber until the pin engages the slot in the side of the chamber. Raise the chamber and rotate counterclockwise (as viewed from the top) until it stops. Release the chamber, allowing it to drop and lock into place. Attach the connector cable from the viscometer head to the chamber, if there is an embedded temperature probe in the chamber. s (Part No. SC4-3RD-): Carefully guide the sample chamber into the water jacket from the bottom until it is inserted high enough to allow closing of the latch at the bottom of the water jacket. Be sure the latch closes completely, engaging the positive snap lock. Rotate the sample chamber until it drops into the locked position where the flat side of the pin at the bottom of the sample chamber engages a flat side of the latch. This prevents the chamber from turning with the spindle during sample measurements. Note: sample chambers, available in packages of chambers, are replacements for SC4-3R sample chambers only. 7. Assemble the spindle, extension link and Coupling Adapter. Slowly lower the spindle into the sample fluid. Attach the Coupling Adapter to the viscometer. Position the insulating cap on the sample chamber, if desired. Note:. Spindles SC4-4,, 6,, Z, 7 and 9 as well as EZ-Lock spindles SC4-,, 6K,, Z, 7K and 9K have solid shafts and do not require a link or a coupling adapter assembly.. For EZ-Lock spindles, they are installed before the water jacket is attached.. Optional #36 stainless steel spindles and chambers are available for acidic or corrosive samples. Contact or your local authorized dealer. 3. spindle SC4-7D can be used with Alignment SC4-46DY (EZ-Lock part number SC4-46DKY) and Chuck Closer SC4-DSY (EZ-Lock part number SC4-DSKY). -4-

5 8. Level the Viscometer. General operating procedures and spindle entry codes are described in the Viscometers instruction manual. 9. Spindle factors for the Small Adapter are shown in Table 3. The spindle factor enables the operator using a Dial Reading Viscometer to convert the torque reading to a viscosity reading in centipoise. The spindle factor, when multiplied by, defines the maximum viscosity in cp that can be measured. Table 3 Spindle Factors for Small Adapter When Used with Dial Reading Viscometer LV VISCOMETERS RV VISCOMETERS K 3. 6K HA VISCOMETERS K HB VISCOMETERS K To calculate viscosity in centipoise (cp), multiply the dial reading or % torque by the factor corresponding to the viscometer spindle and speed used. 6K 80K K = 0.6K 6K 3 80K 60K Example:. Clean the spindle and chamber using appropriate cleaning solutions. K K K 6K 80K Spindle SC LV Viscometer Factor = Measured Torque = 7% Viscosity = 7 x = cp Note: The black insulating bottom of the sample chamber should not be exposed to strong solvents such as methanol, toluene, ammonia and trichloroethylene. Do not totally immerse the chamber in any cleaning solution. Improper cleaning may result in separation of the black insulation from the chamber. --
