MATERIAL AND EQUIPMENT:
5.1
Viscometer.
6.0
PROCEDURE:
6.1
Ensure that all the connections of the instrument are proper.
6.2
Turn the viscometer “ON”.
6.3
Take out the viscosity in 500.0ml beaker.
6.4
Adjust the temperature to 25oC.
6.5
Attach the required spindle, adjust required speed and
measure the viscosity.
6.6
Note down the constant reading in annexure-1.
6.7
Acceptance criteria:
6.7.1 Viscosity should be within the
tolerance limits.
6.8
Precautions:
6.8.1 Take due care to avoid any
contamination of the solutions.
6.8.2 Avoid air bubble entrapment transfer of
solutions.
6.8.3 Do not transfer the viscosity solution
to the original container back after use.
