FAQs of Digital Rotational Viscometer:
Q: How does the Digital Rotational Viscometer ensure accuracy in viscosity measurements?
A: The Digital RV-1 viscometer maintains accuracy through both manual and automatic calibration modes. Its microprocessor-controlled system, 1% of full scale accuracy, and compliance with ISO 2555 and ASTM D2196 further guarantee reliable and standardized results.
Q: What is the recommended process for setting up and using the viscometer?
A: Simply place the instrument on a stable surface, connect it to an AC power source using the adapter, select the suitable spindle, and input the required parameters via the digital control panel. With a minimum sample volume of 20 ml, you can initiate measurement and view results on the LCD display.
Q: When should I use each spindle provided with the instrument?
A: Spindles are chosen based on sample viscosity and measurement range. Lower viscosity samples require smaller spindles, while higher viscosity samples need larger spindles to ensure accurate readings within the specified range of 10 mPas to 2,000,000 mPas.
Q: Where can I access stored data or export measurement results?
A: Results are stored within the device and can be viewed via its digital display. For export, use the integrated RS232 port, which allows data transfer to external computers or compatible software for further analysis or record-keeping.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this viscometer in laboratory environments?
A: Key benefits include high measurement precision, auto range selection, overload protection, alarm functions for operational safety, and data storage capabilities. Its ease of use and robust build, coupled with compliance to international standards, make it ideal for quality control and research laboratories.
Q: How does the viscometer handle temperature variations during measurement?
A: The Digital RV-1 is designed to measure samples within a temperature range of 0C to 100C, allowing accurate viscosity assessment even under varying laboratory conditions.
Q: Is the viscometer suitable for continuous or repetitive testing, and what safeguards are included?
A: Yes, the viscometers design supports repetitive testing with features like overload protection, low viscosity alarms, and a durable ABS/stainless steel construction, ensuring safe and reliable operation for frequent laboratory use.
