NOTE Settings for soak times may need to be reconfigured when the bath
temperature setting is changed.
Bath Temperature Input the desired temperature for the CAV Bath corresponding to the
selected tube in the Bath Temp: field and select the desired unit of
temperature measurement by clicking on the corresponding radio button.
CAUTION
Changing bath temperature may necessitate removing the reference
thermometer from the Bath Unit. See Inserting/removing the reference
thermometer in Chapter 2 for information on the procedure. Damaged
thermometers may contaminate the bath fluid.
Soak time Input the desired sample soak times for each bulb of the viscometer tube.
The soak time is the length of time in which the sample will remain in the
viscometer tube before being dropped. The soak time is important to
ensure temperature equilibration of the sample. Values between 5 and
255 seconds are acceptable (the default value is 120 seconds).
