19、y accurate inspectionmeans. A number of commercially available holders are sodesigned that the tube L is held perpendicular to the lid of aconstant-temperature bath; nevertheless, the viscometer shouldbe tested with a plumb line in order to ensure that the tube Lis in a vertical position.5.1.1 Those

20、 viscometers whose upper meniscus is offsetfrom directly above the lower meniscus (all others in AnnexA1and all in Annex A3) shall be mounted in a constant-temperature bath with tube L held within 0.3 of the vertical.5.2 Round metal tops, designed to fit above a 51-mm hole inthe lid of the bath, are

21、 frequently cemented on to the Zeitfuchs,Zeitfuchs cross-arm, and Lantz-Zeitfuchs viscometers whichthen are permanently mounted on the lid of the bath. Also arectangular metal top, 25 mm 59 mm, is often cemented onto the Zeitfuchs cross-arm and Zeitfuchs viscometers. Viscom-eters fitted with metal t

22、ops should also be set vertically in theconstant-temperature bath with the aid of a plumb line.5.3 In each figure, the numbers which follow the tubedesignation indicate the outside tube diameter in millimetres. Itis important to maintain these diameters and the designatedspacing to ensure that holde

Calibration of Viscometers6.1 Procedures:6.1.1 Calibrate the kinematic glass capillary viscometerscovered by this standard using the procedures described inAnnex A1, Annex A2, and Annex A3.6.2 Reference Viscometers:6.2.1 Select a clear petroleum oil, free from solid par

24、ticlesand possessing Newtonian flow characteristics, with a kine-matic viscosity within the range of both the reference viscom-eter and the viscometer to be calibrated. The minimum flowtime shall be greater than that specified in the appropriate tableof the annex in both the reference viscometer and

25、 the viscom-eter which is to be calibrated in order that the kinetic energycorrection (see 7.1 and 7.2) may be less than 0.2 %.6.2.2 Select a calibrated viscometer of known viscometerconstant C1. This viscometer may be a reference viscometer(driving head at least 400 mm) that has been calibrated by

26、thestep-up procedure using viscometers of successively largercapillary diameters, starting with distilled water as the basickinematic viscosity standard or a routine viscometer of thesame type that has been calibrated by comparison with areference viscometer. See Test Method D2162.6.2.3 Mount the ca

27、librated viscometer together with theviscometer to be calibrated in the same bath and determine theflow times of the oil in accordance with Test Method D445.6.2.3.1 The calibration of the reference viscometer shouldonly be carried out by a reputable laboratory meeting therequirements of, for example

28、, ISO Guide 25.6.2.4 Calculate the viscometer constant C1as follows:C15 t23C2!/t1(1)where:C1= the constant of the viscometer being calibrated,t1= the flow time to the nearest 0.1 s in the viscometerbeing calibrated,C2= the constant of the calibrated viscometer, andt2= the flow time to the nearest 0.

If the two values ofC1differ by less than 0.2 % for those viscometers listed inAnnex A1 and Annex A2 and less than 0.3 % for thoseviscometers listed in Annex A3, us

If theconstants differ by more than this value, repeat the proceduretaking care to examine all possible sources of errors.6.2.5.1 The calibration constant, C, is dependent upon thegravitational acceleration at the place of calibration and thismust, therefore, be supplied by the standa

31、rdization laboratorytogether with the instrument constant. Where the accelerationof gravity, g, differs by more than 0.1 %, correct the calibrationconstant as follows:C25g2/g1!3C1(2)where subscripts 1 and 2 indicate respectively the standard-ization laboratory and the testing laboratory.6.3 Certifie

32、d Viscosity Reference Standards:6.3.1 Certified viscosity reference standards shall be certi-fied by a laboratory that has been shown to meet the require-ments of ISO 17025 by independent assessment. Certifiedviscosity reference standards shall be traceable to masterviscometer procedures described i

33、n Practice D2162.6.3.1.1 The uncertainty of the certified viscosity referencestandard shall be stated for each certified value (k=2, 95%confidence). See ISO 5725 or NIST 1297.6.3.2 Select from Table 1 a certified viscosity referencestandard with a kinematic viscosity at the calibration tempera-ture

34、within the kinematic viscosity range of the viscometer tobe calibrated and a minimum flow time greater than thatspecified in the appropriate table of the annex. Determine theD446 122flow time to the nearest 0.1 s in accordance with Test MethodD445 and calculate the viscometer constant, C, as follows

35、:C 5 /t (3)where: = the kinematic viscosity, mm2/s, for the certified viscos-ity reference standard, andt = the flow time, s.6.3.3 Repeat with a second certified viscosity referencestandard whose flow times are at least 50 % longer than thefirst certified viscosity reference standard. If the two val

36、ues ofC differ by less than 0.2 % for those viscometers listed inAnnex A1 and Annex A2 and less than 0.3 % for thoseviscometers listed in Annex A3, use the average as theviscometer constant for the viscometer being calibrated. If theconstants differ by more than this value, repeat the proceduretakin

This generally means four significant figuresfrom 1 10Nto 6.999 10Nand three significant figures from710Nto 9.99 10N.7. Kinematic Viscosity Calculation7.

38、1 Basic Formula:7.1.1 Kinematic viscosity, expressed in mm2/s, can becalculated from the viscometer dimensions as follows: 5 106gD4Ht/128 VL! 2 E/t2(4)where: = the kinematic viscosity, mm2/s,g = the acceleration due to gravity, m/s2,D = the diameter of the capillary, m,L = the length of the capillar

39、y, m,H = the average distance between the upper and lowermenisci, m,V = the timed volume of liquids passing through thecapillary, m3(approximately the volume of the timingbulb),E = the kinetic energy factor, mm2s, andt = the flow time, s.7.1.2 If the viscometer is selected so that the minimum flowti

40、me shown in the tables of Annex A1, Annex A2, and AnnexA3 are exceeded, the kinetic energy term, E/t2, becomesinsignificant and Eq 4 may be simplified by grouping thenon-variable terms into a constant, C, as follows: 5 Ct (5)7.2 Kinetic Energy Correction:7.2.1 The viscometers described in the Annex

41、A1, AnnexA2, and Annex A3 are designed such that the kinetic energycorrection term, E/t2, is negligible if the flow time is more than200 s. In the case of several sizes of viscometers for themeasurement of low-kinematic viscosity liquids, a minimumflow time greater than 200 s is required in order th

42、at the kineticenergy correction term, E/ t2, shall be negligible. The minimumflow times required are set out as footnotes to the appropriatetables of viscometer dimensions given in the AnnexA1, AnnexA2, and Annex A3.7.2.2 For viscometers whose constants are 0.05 mm2/s2orless, a kinetic energy correc

43、tion can be significant if theminimum 200 s flow is not observed. Where this is notpossible, Eq 5 takes on the following form:kinematic viscosity, mm2/s 5 Ct 2 E/t2(6)where:E = kinetic energy factor, mm2s,C = viscometer constant, mm2/s2,t = flow time, s.7.2.3 Although the kinetic energy factor, E,is

44、notaconstant, it may be approximated by means of the followingequation:E 5 52.5 V3/2/LCd!1/2(7)where:(using the units given in Figs. A1.1-A3.4)V = volume of the timing bulb, mL,L = capillary working length, mm,d = capillary working diameter, mm,C = viscometer constant, mm2/s2.NOTE 1The kinetic energ

45、y factor for certain viscometer designs andflow time use can result in significant kinematic viscosity errors. Deter-mine the effect of the kinetic energy factor for viscometers not describedin this specification.7.3 Maximum Flow Time:7.3.1 The limit of 1000 s has been set arbitrarily forconvenience

46、 as the recommended maximum flow time for theviscometers covered by this standard. Longer flow times maybe used.7.4 Surface Tension Correction :7.4.1 If the two menisci have different average diametersduring the flow time and if the surface tension of the samplediffers substantially from the calibra
