Summary of Test Method3.1 The kinematic viscosity is determined by measuring thetime taken for a sample to fill a calibrated volume at a giventemperature.

11、 The specimen is introduced into the apparatus andthen flows into the viscometer tube which is equipped with twodetection cells. The specimen reaches the test temperature ofthe viscometer bath and when the leading edge of the specimenpasses in front of the first detection cell, the automatedinstrume

12、nt starts the timing sequence. When the leading edgeof the specimen passes in front of the second detection cell, theinstrument stops timing the flow.

17、in mm2/s, andt = the flow time in s measured during the test.4. Significance and Use4.1 Many petroleum products and some non-petroleumproducts are used as lubricants in the equipment, and thecorrect operation of the equipment depends upon the appropri-ate viscosity of the lubricant being used. Addit

18、ionally, theviscosity of many petroleum fuels is important for the estima-tion of optimum storage, handling, and operational conditions.Thus, the accurate determination of viscosity is essential tomany product specifications.4.2 The viscosity of used oils is a commonly determinedparameter in the oil

19、 industry to assess the effect of engine wearon the lube oils used, as well as the degradation of the engineparts during operation.4.3 The Houillon viscometer tube method offers automateddetermination of kinematic viscosity. Typically a sample vol-ume of less than 1 mL is required for the analysis.5

Sampling7.1 Obtain a representative test specimen in accordancewith Practice

31、D 4057 or Practice D 4177.8. Preparation of Apparatus8.1 Place the automated viscometer on a stable and levelhorizontal surface. Make appropriate piping, drainage, andvacuum connections. Refer to the manufacturers instructions.8.2 If not already mounted, install the detection cells.8.3 After install

32、ing and securing all viscometer tubes in thebath, fill the bath with appropriate amount of bath fluid (see6.4).8.4 Add the appropriate amount of solvent(s) to the solventreservoir(s).8.5 Follow the manufacturers instructions for the operationof the instrument.8.6 Select a clean, dry, and calibrated

33、viscometer tubehaving a range covering the estimated kinematic viscosity ofthe specimen to be tested, if known. The appropriate viscom-eter tube to use depends on the estimated viscosity of thesample to be tested. The calculation in 8.6.1 may be used todecide which tube to use.8.6.1 Using Eq 1, the

34、viscometer tube should be chosen sothat its constant C falls between n/200 C n/30 to give flowtimes, T, between 30 and 200 s.NOTE 1In the interlaboratory study5conducted for the developmentof this test method, the flow times were between 30 and 200 s.8.6.2 If a viscosity estimate is not known, a sec

35、ond analysismay be necessary using a different viscometer tube after a firsttrial analysis.9. Calibration9.1 Calibrate according to the manufacturers instructions.Calibrated tubes may be purchased but shall be verified as per9.4.9.2 Use certified viscosity reference standards (see 6.1).5Supporting d

38、the auto-mated viscometer and to the manufacturers instructions.9.4 The determined kinematic viscosity should match thecertified value within 60.5 %. If it does not, then reanalyze thestandard. If the value is still out of range, then check all controlsystem settings for the viscometer tube, and rec

39、heck each stepin the procedure, including the temperature measuring device,and viscometer calibration to locate the source of error.NOTE 2The most common sources of error are caused by particles ofdust lodged in the capillary bore of the viscosity tube (particularly for usedoils) and temperature mea

40、surement errors. Modification of the cleaningconstants by increasing the number of cycles and increasing the aspirationtime before and after passage of the solvent (see Section 11) may berequired.10. General Procedure for Kinematic Viscosity10.1 Set and maintain the automated viscometer bath at ther

41、equired test temperature.10.1.1 Thermometers, if used, shall be held in an uprightposition under the same conditions of immersion as whencalibrated.10.2 Introduce a sufficient volume of sample to the Houillontube, using a volume delivery device (see 5.1.9) such as amicro-pipette. The specimen volume

42、 to be used is a function ofthe viscometer tube constant (see Fig. 1). Fig. 2 shows thecorrect specimen levels during a measurement.NOTE 3Use a volume delivery device that is capable of introducingthe entire specimen volume in one operation.10.3 Introduce the specimen into the viscometer tube. Start

43、the measurement sequence.10.4 The automated viscometer processing system willmeasure the flow times, calculate the viscosity according to Eq1, and record the result.10.5 Start the cleaning sequence (see Section 11).10.6 Allow the viscometer tube to reach the bath tempera-ture (about 5 min) before pe

44、rforming a new measurement.NOTE 4In some units, the equilibration time required may be muchless than 5 min.11. Cleaning of Viscosity Tubes11.1 The viscometer tubes are cleaned by vacuuming thespecimen residue left in the viscometer tube followed by theuse of a solvent to remove any traces of the spe

45、cimen on theviscometer tube walls. The solvent is then removed by vacuum.Some units use a second solvent for drying the tube. Thisoperation is repeated several times until the viscometer tube isclean. Periodically, the viscometer tube calibration constantshould be checked.11.2 The solvent(s) should

46、have a boiling point appropriatefor the bath temperature.11.2.1 The solvent flow must be sufficient to clean the entireinternal section of the viscometer tube. This can be achieved byadjusting the solvent flow(s) and the flow rate using appropri-ate controls.11.3 The cleaning of one tube shall not b

47、e carried out whilea test is being performed in another tube in the same bath.NOTE 5Some multiple tube systems, although not included in theinterlaboratory study5conducted to obtain the precision and bias of thistest method, are designed to clean tubes while other tubes are performingviscosity measu

48、rements. Hence, this cleaning does not interfere with thevalidity of the tests underway in the instrument.11.4 To ensure good operation, regularly check the viscom-eter tubes for damage and cleanliness. The latter can be doneby checking with the reference oils suitable for the particulartube being u

49、sed. Use these check oils like regular samples. Ifthe results obtained are different from the certified values ofthese oils, it is necessary to carry out a more vigorous cleaningof the tubes in question. Non-chromium containing cleaningsolution (see 6.2) may have to be used.11.5 The frequency at which the tubes should be checkedusing reference oils depends on the frequency with which thetubes are used for measurements.12.
