7、paque Liquids (and Calculation of Dynamic Viscos-ity)3. Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 apparent viscositythe viscosity determined by thistest method and expressed in millipascal seconds. Its valuemay vary with the spindle and rotational speed selectedbecause many hot melts are non-Newtonian.3.1.2

8、viscositythe ratio of shear stress to shear rate. Theviscosity of a liquid is a measure of the internal friction of theliquid in motion. The unit of dynamic viscosity is the pascalsecond. For a Newtonian liquid, the viscosity is constant at allshear rates. For a non-Newtonian liquid, viscosity will

9、varydepending on shear rate.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A representative sample of the molten material to betested is maintained in a thermally controlled sample chamber.Apparent viscosity is determined under temperature equilib-rium conditions using a precision rotating spindle type viscom-eter. D

10、ata obtained at several temperatures can be plotted onappropriate semi-logarithmic graph paper and apparent viscos-ity at intermediate temperatures can be estimated.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method distinguishes between hot melts havingdifferent apparent viscosities. It is believed that a

11、pparentviscosity determined by this procedure is related to flowperformance in application machinery operating under condi-tions of low shear rate. Apparent viscosity as determined bythis test method may not correlate well with end-use applica-tions where high shear rates are encountered.5.2 Materia

12、ls of the type described in this procedure may bequite non-Newtonian and as such, the apparent viscosity willbe a function of shear rate under the conditions of test.Although the viscometer described in this test method gener-ally operates under conditions of relatively low shear rate,differences in

13、 shear effect can exist depending upon the spindleand rotational speed conditions selected for the test program.Maximum correlation between laboratories, therefore, dependsupon testing under conditions of equivalent shear.5.3 Approximate shear rates using various spindles areshown in Table A1.1.1Thi

Calibration7.1 The viscometer is precalibrated using Newtonian fluidsby the manufacturer. No zero adjustment is provided, sinceexperience has show

18、n that the zero point will not vary due tochanges in the spring. The viscometer and spindles are preci-sion equipment and should be kept from undue shock andmishandling. Physical damage to the instrument will oftenreveal itself as erratic or no oscillation of the pointer when theinstrument, with or

19、without the spindle in place, is operated inair. When operating normally, the pointer will be stable andhave free oscillation about the zero point in air.7.2 The instrument may be further calibrated using standardreference fluids. Suitable fluids are available in nominalviscosities up to 15 000 mPas

20、 at 149C (300F).5The proce-dure for instrument calibration using standard reference fluidsis that encompassed by this test method. Results obtained usingstandard reference fluids should not deviate from the nominalviscosity by more than 2 %.7.3 The temperature controller of the type recommended fort

Suitable thermometers areshown in Table 1.NOTE 4Particular care must be taken not to overflow the samplechamber when using the 100C, 76-

Adjust the thermal controller toprovide the desired test temperature. Rotate the thermometerduring temperature reading to mi

Minimum deviation may vary betweenlaboratories, depending upon the controller, but should in nocase exceed 60.5C (0.9F). Repeat this

Viscometer scalereadings must be within the 10 to 95 range.NOTE 6Care must be
