16、 viscosity.3.1.4 unbounded microchannel capillary, na rectangularchannel, approximately 100 m by 2 mm, which comprises thecapillary for this test method.3.1.4.1 DiscussionThe channel, whose top view can beseen in Fig. 1, is unbounded because it is open to air on twosides. The sample stays in the cap

17、illary and does not leakthrough the unbounded portion due to the inherent surfacetension at the boundary between the capillary and air. Thecapillary is repeatedly assembled for the purpose of theviscosity measurement and then disassembled immediatelyafter the viscosity measurement to allow for clean

18、ing. This isaccomplished by having two mirror sides, which comprise thecapillary, coupled by means of a clamshell arrangement. Theintegrity of the capillary is ensured by spacers which guaranteethe distance between the two mirror sides when closing theclamshell.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A liquid

19、sample is placed into the loading funnel (seeFig. 1) of the miniature capillary viscometer and kinematicviscosity at 40 C is determined by measuring the time inseconds (t) it takes this liquid to travel between the beamproduced by LED (light-emitting diode) #1 and LED #3.4.2 These times associated w

20、ith the liquid passing eachLED are determined by monitoring the voltage of the corre-sponding photodiodes: The starting time (t=0) is defined aswhen the operator initiates by means of button push the testsequence; a built-in clock then tracks the travel time. When theliquid enters the vicinity of th

21、e LED beam, the time, from thetest starting time, at which the liquid is determined to havepassed this beam is defined as the photodiode voltage falling bya factor of 0.5.4.3 The liquid sample thermalizes rapidly to 40 C as theentire unbounded microchannel capillary is constructed ofaluminum which i

22、s stabilized at 40 C. Thus when the 60 Lliquid is placed into the microchannel capillary it immediatelyFIG. 1 Miniature Capillary Viscometer SchematicD8092 172comes into contact with the aluminum and the liquid flowingout of the loading funnel thermalizes to 40 C within tenths ofseconds.4.4 The kine

23、matic viscosity in square millimetres persecond (mm2/s) is determined a linear relationship with t, thatis, 5n1t1n2. The slope (n1)inmm2/s2and offset (n2)inmm2/s of this linear relationship are determined by calibrationat the factory or at the point of use using certified viscosityreference standard

24、s.5. Significance and Use5.1 The significance of this test method is that it provides ameans for a reliable field determination of kinematic viscosityat 40 C without requiring solvents or chemicals for cleaning.Field use implies that the fluid may be very opaque, such as anin-service engine oil. The

25、 device may be cleaned with adisposable lint-free oil-absorbent material such as a cleancotton shop rag, and requires only 60 L of sample foroperation. As such the device provides a unique service to arange of industries where it is difficult or undesirable to obtainchemicals of any sort in order to

26、 determine the kinematicviscosity of their fluid of interest. Examples of such industriesinclude many marine-based systems where a laboratory doesnot exist on-board, mines where equipment is needed foron-the-spot determination of asset viscosity, and large indus-trial plants where a walk-around insp

27、ection of oil sumpsgreatly increases efficiency. By using this test method, one canserve these crucial use-cases where a direct, immediate mea-sure of kinematic viscosity at 40 C may otherwise be difficultto obtain.6. Interferences6.1 Possible interferences for this test method include thepresence o

28、f large particles in the liquid which would tend to getstuck in the capillary and impede the liquid flow. Since thecapillary is only approximately 100 m in its smallest dimen-sion this must be carefully considered. To address this in thefield, a middle LED/photodiode arrangement (#2, see Fig. 1)vali

29、dates the linearity of the flow. If the flow is found to benon-linear, the operator is instructed that a probable invalidmeasurement has occurred and a re-test is indicated. Thisre-test involves cleaning the capillary and thereby removingany trapped particulate. If the liquid being analyzed commonly

30、has a large population of particulate expected in the 60 L ofdrawn sample, letting the sample settle and sampling towardsthe top of a bottle as described in Practice D4057 may befollowed in order to significantly reduce the probability thatthis occurs.7. Apparatus47.1 The miniature capillary viscome

31、ter (see Fig. 1) consistsof the following components:7.1.1 Temperature-controlled aluminum plates coupled to-gether in a clamshell arrangement. These plates serve as a heatsink for bringing the liquid to a fixed temperature rapidly uponthe sample being loaded into the device.7.1.2 Temperature contro

32、l of the aluminum plates is accom-plished using a built-in PID controller with insulated stripheaters placed on the back side of each plate. Two PID(proportional integral derivative) loops control each plateseparately. The thermistor is also placed into each plate, on theback side but as near as pos

33、sible to the center of the liquid flowthrough the capillary. Such an arrangement controls tempera-ture of the liquid to within 0.1 C.7.1.3 An unbounded microchannel capillary is machinedinto the temperature-controlled aluminum plates in the centerof the two plates.7.1.4 Miniature emitters operating

34、at a center wavelength of880 nm are used for the LEDs. Center wavelength 850 nmsilicon photodiodes are used for detecting the LED illumina-tion. Using a real-time operating system, the voltage on thesephotodiodes is monitored at millisecond resolution and is useddetermine the time, relative to when

35、the test is initiated, whenthe liquid has passed the threshold of each LED beam. Thistime detection system is mounted in a measurement chamberwhich receives the aluminum plates. This measurement cham-ber uses a permanent-magnet holder to ensure the alignmentbetween the aluminum plates (which contain

36、 the capillary) andthe time detection system.7.1.5 The viscometer control system comprises embeddedelectronics which allow the user to control the system andperform the viscosity measurement.7.1.6 A micropastuerette, or micropipette with disposabletip, is used to dispense 60 L of fluid into the load

At mini-mum a quantity of 60 L is needed. If obtained directly fromthe equipment such as with a dipstick or fro

46、m a bottle thatcontains a recent sample, the sample should be representativeof the system and no further actions are required. The sampleshould be at temperatures that are compatible with the speci-fications of the microdispenser used when drawn for analysis.If such equipment is available, the sampl

47、e may be obtained asdescribed in Practice D4057.10.2 If the sample is obtained from a source, such as ananalysis bottle, that may be non-homogeneous, or clearlyappears to be non-homogeneous, the sample should be re-homogenized to ensure that a representative sample will beobtained. Follow Practice D
