How to Troubleshoot Common Problems with Capillary Flow Viscometers
Using a capillary flow viscometer to determine the viscosity of a liquid will not yield the best results if the testing procedure is not well controlled. To begin with, check the instructions that came with your viscometer such as ZONWONs ones. The right knowledge of how to operate the device is a must. Next, work out your samples with great care. The liquid under test should be at the right temperature. Overheating or chilling can interfere with how a liquid flows, and consequently, your results will be incorrect. After that, if you have a thermometer, measure the temperature of your sample
Once you have sorted out everything, the correct way to test is to fill the viscometer with the liquid in such a way that no bubbles are formed. Bubbles might distort the readings, so it's worth doing your best. Besides, one could repeat the experiments several times. By testing the same liquid repeatedly, your results become more reliable. After testing, the viscometer should be cleaned thoroughly. This will facilitate the proper maintenance of its condition for any RELIT TEST you might be conducting. Keep the viscometer in a place where it is safe from damage when it is not being used. If you do these, then you can guarantee you always get the highest quality of results.
