To level the surface of the sample; adjust the leveling feet so that the center of the narrow part
of the right and left sensor plates is on the liquid surface.
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.
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.
Ensure a stable power source when using the AC adapter.
Use only your finger to press the keys. Using a sharp instrument such as a pen may damage
keys.
The sample cup is made of polycarbonate (PC) and is not appropriate for organic solvents.
When organic solvents are used as a sample fluid, do not use the accessory sample cup. Use
the glass sample cup (AX-SV-35) that is sold separately or a commercially-available glass
beaker.
The protector can be raised or removed. So, even when a beaker is used, the viscosity can be
measured with a small amount of sample.
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.
