Summary of Test Method4.1 Acylindrical spindle is rotated in a Newtonian referencefluid

17、 contained in a mating cylindrical container at a known (ormeasured) speed at a defined temperature. The viscous dragexperienced by the immersed element is measured (or known)as torque. Viscosity is proportional to the torque and inverselyproportional to the shear rate (see Eq 1). A number of proxie

18、sexist for torque and shear rate. For torque, proxies include, butare not limited to, mass (accelerated by gravity operatingthrough a moment arm), and the percent extension of aspring-provided force. For shear rate, proxies include rotationalspeed in a variety of units including r/min and rad/s, tim

19、e (fora constant number of revolutions), or number of revolutions(per constant time). A proportionality constant provides for thedimensions of the spindle and unit conversion (such as r/min torad/s) factors (see Eq 2). 5 (1) 5 E (2)where: = viscosity (Pas), = rotational speed (r/min),E = calibration

20、 coefficient, = torque (Nm), and = shear rate, S1.NOTE 11 Pa = 1 N/m2; 1 cP = 1 mPas; 1 r/min = 0.1047 rad/s.4.2 The dimensions of the calibration constant depend uponthe units in which torque (or its proxy) and rotational speed (orits proxy) are observed.4.3 Modern apparatus with onboard computers

In this case, onlycalibration verification is needed to ensure a properly operatingapparatus.4.4 Calibration or calibration verification of a viscometerand its associated spindle is achieved by comparing theviscosity indicated by the apparatus

22、with that of the knownviscosity of a calibration fluid as their quotient using Eq 3,under experimental conditions used in measuring an unknownfluid:C 5 t o(3)where:t= the viscosity of the calibration fluid (Pas),o= the viscosity indicated by the apparatus (Pas), andC = calibration verification facto
