5-3 During Use (For all models)
The SV-A/SV-H series viscometer, designed for very accurate measurement, is sensitive to
vibration or shock during transportation, as that may cause a display value error. Before
measurement, calibrate the viscometer using the sample cup that will be used for measurement.
To level the surface of the sample, adjust the leveling feet. (Height adjustment of the right and left
leveling feet.)
(With SV-10A, the center of the narrow part of the right and left sensor plates is on the liquid
surface.)
* With the SV-H series, use the AX-SV-51 (stand set, sold separately).
The viscosity of a liquid is temperature dependent and changes by negative 2 to negative 10
percent, per degree Celsius. Take changes in the liquid temperature into consideration for an
accurate measurement.
Be sure to calibrate using the standard viscosity fluid or purified water before measurement.
In a measurement that takes a long time, perform calibration periodically, as necessary.
Ensure a stable power source when using the AC adapter.
Placing the sensor plates and the temperature sensor in the sample may change the sample
temperature. For precise measurement, leave the sample as is for a while, after placing the
sensor plates and the temperature sensor, to ensure no changes to the sample temperature.
And then, start a measurement.
Use only your finger to press the keys. Using a sharp instrument such as a pen may damage
keys.
Handle the sensor plates with care.
If the sensor plates, or the protector, touch the inner wall of the sample cup, it may cause
measurement error. When measuring, be sure to adjust the spacing between the sensor
plates and the inner walls of the sample cup.
The sample cups are made of polycarbonate (PC) or glass. When using organic solvents, we
recommend the use of the glass sample cup (accessory or sold separately) or a commercially
available glass beaker.
Raise or remove the protector if necessary.
How to remove the protector:
Press the left and right side frames lightly in the direction indicated as 1 to remove the
rotational axis. Pull the protector in the direction indicated as 2 to remove.
