1 Introduction
1.1
General
The viscosity determination for mineral oils, hydrocarbons and other transparent or
non-transparent liquids that behave like Newton's fluid represents a testing method
often required by the mineral oil industry. The product specifications define the
respective allowable viscosity range. Within the allowable limit ranges, it is thus
particularly important to achieve accurate measurements with an extremely high
reproducibility. This requires the use of a highly accurate viscometer, a viscosity
bath with an extremely high temperature stability and an accurate time measurement.
A number of glass viscometers are available to determine the kinematic viscosity.
The Ubbelohde viscometer with a suspended sphere level has proven to be a device
producing the most accurate measurements. Due to the design features of the unit,
the coefficient of expansion exhibited by the glass at different temperatures has such
a minor effect that it can be neglected.
The Herzog HVU 480/481/482 is based on this Ubbelohde viscometer and uses a
fourth glass tube to obtain an automatic cleaning phase; it is available in two
versions.
With NIR - Can be used for transparent to very dark samples (order no.
04805-000-XX). When the meniscus is no longer operative due to the low
transparency exhibited by the sample, the HVU 480/481/482 program switches
automatically to the through-view mode.
With NTC - Used for non-transparent samples or for samples that absorb NIR
(near infrared) or reflect through solid bodies (order no. 04806-000-XX).
NIR and NTC viscometers can be used simultaneously in a HVU 480/481/482
bath.
The Herzog HVU 480/481/482 is fitted with a viscosity bath to receive 2 HVU
480/481/482 Ubbelohde viscometers yielding a measurement range of between +20
C and +150 C, with an automatic washing and drying device, electronic time
measurement unit and a program that meets the requirements of our world-wide
clients (manufacture and supply of viscometers since 1977). A special silicon oil is
required as the bath liquid. The unit was designed such that it includes features to
protect the environment (small solvent quantity for cleaning purposes).
Version 21.1B/14.1B
Introduction
The Herzog HVU 480/481/482 viscometers can be used as individual units or with
the VISNET data bank software (optional) with a personal computer using Windows.
It is possible to control up to 16 HVU 480/481/482 testing units with up to 32
measurement points by means of one serial interface of a central PC and to
automatically transfer the data to the VISNET data bank. Automatic viscosity index
calculations as well as statistical evaluations can be executed by means of the data
bank.
To obtain testing protocols from a joint printer (optional), it is possible to link up to
16 HVU 480/481/482 units without the need to operate a PC.

4.1
General
Place the HVU 480/481/482 on a stable laboratory bench. The sample flow in the
viscometer depends on gravity. Therefore the capillaries must be in a vertical
position (90).
Before putting the HVU 480/481/482 into service, check the data for voltage,
frequency and power rating. The socket for the HVU 480/481/482 must be fused
accordingly. If the supply corresponds with the values on the rating plate, plug in the
unit.

1. Unscrew the knurl screws and remove the silver bath cover plate (4 screws).
Upon removing this plate you will see screws that secure the plastic collars
used to secure the glass baffle tubes.
2. With a screw driver, unscrew and remove the plastic collars (2 screws).
3. Carefully place the glass baffle tubes into position. The glass tube should be
centred above circulation holes and in the middle of the metal stabilising studs
on bath floor.
4. With a screw driver, secure the plastic collars fitting them over the glass tubes.
Make sure that the capillary key slot on the collar is mounted so that it points to
the left. This is essential for lining up the colour coded capillary connection
tubes.
5. Replace and secure the silver bath cover plate.
6. Connect all coloured hoses to the corresponding colour shown on HVU
480/481 diagram (see chapter HVU 480/481 Identification Diagrams). Slop
bottle must be atmospheric allowing air displacement when slop is discharged
into the bottle.
7. Volume of the slop bottle must be larger than solvent 1 and solvent 2 bottles
combined (ex. solvent 1 and solvent 2 bottles are one liter each for a total of 2
liters. Slop bottle needs to be 2.5 to 3 liters).
If fast cooling of the regulated bath is needed or the bath temperature must be lower
than ambient air temperature, a cooling system should be connected to the connectors
at the rear of the HVU 480/481 (see chapter HVU 480/481 Identification Diagrams).
To insure meaningful results when using the HVU 480/481 without a cooling system,
the ambient air temperature must be at least 15K lower than the bath temperature. To
maintain a constant HVU 480/481 bath temperature, when using a cooling system,
the cooling system set temperature should be 10K below the required bath
temperature ( ex. HVU 480/481 bath temperature = 20C, Cooling system = 10C).
When using common water cooling, it must be kept at a constant temperature and
flow rate to maintain satisfactory HVU 480/481 bath regulation.
Fill the bath with silicone oil up to 2 cm below the top of the glass window. The
glass viscometer is completely immersed in bath oil because of special construction.
28
Version 21.1B/14.1B
Note: Do not fill above the level. Bath overflow can occur at high temperatures.
If the bath temperature is not stable, it could be that there is water in the
siliconoil. The water could be evaporated if the bath is heated to 130 C for
3 hours.
4.3
Before the HVU 482 can be put into service, please follow these installation
procedures:
Note:
1. Unscrew the four knurled screws holding the heat exchanging tubes and
remove the transport safety devices.
2. Connect the solvent and slop vessel according to the HVU 480/481 diagram
(refer to chapter Hardware documentation). Connect the Solvent-filter (370323) in the Solvent-hospipe. The slop vessel must be atmospheric so that the
air can escape when the cleaning solvent drains into the vessel.
3. Volume of the slop bottle must be larger than solvent 1 and solvent 2 bottles
combined (ex. solvent 1 and solvent 2 bottles are one liter each for a total of 2
liters. Slop bottle needs to be 2.5 to 3 liters).
If fast cooling of the regulated bath is needed or the bath temperature must be lower
than 60C, a cooling system should be connected to the connectors at the rear of the
HVU 482 (see chapter Hardware documentation).
To insure meaningful results when using the HVU 482 without a cooling system, the
ambient air temperature must be at least 55C lower than the bath temperature. To
maintain a constant HVU 482 bath temperature, when using a cooling system, the
cooling system set temperature should be 15C below the required bath temperature
(ex. HVU 482 bath temperature = -20C, Cooling system = -35C) and the cooling
liquid flow should be constant.
When using common water cooling, it must be kept at a constant temperature and
flow rate to maintain satisfactory HVU 482 bath regulation.
Version 21.1B/14.1B
29
Fill the bath with silicone oil up to 1.5 to 1 cm below the top of the glass heat
exchanger tube. Oil may spill over at a bath temperature of +100C when more oil is
filled in.
The glass viscometer is completely immersed in bath oil because of special
construction.
Note: Do not fill above the level. Bath overflow can occur at high temperatures.
Despite extensive constructional measurements it is not possible to avoid that the
silicone oil will absorb humidity. Therefore it is necessary to heat up the bath to
100C after about 40 operation hours (depending on the bath temperature and the
atmospheric humidity) refer to chapter Removal of the humidity in the
thermostated bath by heating.

Connection of a slop sensor
(Accessory)
To prevent an overflow of the slop container it is neccessary to use a slop sensor. The
plug for the slop sensor is at the rear panel of the unit.

Connection between HVU 480/481/482
and printer
A printer can be connected to the analysis unit HVU 480/481/482 to print the test
results. This requires only a standard printer with a parallel printer connection and
the expanded IBM character set.
The connection between the printer and the parallel interface (D-SUB 25P) at the
back of the HVU 480/481/482 must be made using cable no. 626-029. (The
centronics cable usually used for PCs cannot be used to connect the printer to the
HVU 480/481/482).

Connection of several HVU 480/481/482
units to one printer
When several testing units (up to 16 HVU 480/481/482) must be connected to one
printer, it is necessary to link them to the HTR plug (on the back of the testing unit)
by means of the enclosed cable no. 626-082.

It is possible to connect up to 16 viscometers of the type HVU 480/481/482 to one
PC.
Cable no. 626-072 is used to connect the analysis unit defined as "master" to the PC.
With the help of cable no. 626-082, the "master" and the maximum of 15 "slaves"
shall be connected to the lower HTR plug (D-Sub 9P) on the back of the HVU
480/481/482 (see chapter HVU 480/481/482 Identification Diagrams) and shall be
coded as indicated in chapter Coding of the measurement points
Furthermore, each testing unit must have a different equipment number (equipment
numbers 0 - 15).

Programming of parameters
This program is used to determine the need to change any of the specific parameters.
These changed parameters are valid only for one test. All program parameters return
to their original values, when the operator leaves the program menu or presses the
STOP key. In other words, the parameters must be programmed again in the program
menu.
Since there is no need to change these parameters often, they are listed in a submenu. The right-arrow key must be used to move to "Yes" to activate said sub-menu.
Thereafter, the arrow-up key can be moved to reach the sub-menu. The definitions of
the parameters are given in chapter xx.

Press the START key again, when the testing is to be carried out without checking
the programming. The display shows the capillary constants and the status for the left
and the right measurement station as well as the bath temperature. A blinking bath
temperature light indicates that the programmed bath temperature has not yet been
reached. The measurement procedure (tempering, measuring) begins only after the
proper bath temperature has been reached.
6.6
The measurement procedures of the HVU 480/481/482 can be aborted any time
during the viscosity analysis by pressing the STOP key. The display shows "Abort
test?". The display itself does not abort the test; this is achieved by pressing the
STOP key again. When it is nevertheless necessary to test the sample again, it will be
necessary to remove the capillary tube connection hoses to provide a fluid level
balance for the sample to be tested.
When the test was aborted during the cleaning cycle, the solvent located in the
system is piped under pressure to the slop container. However, the capillary tubes as
well as the cleaning system are not clean. Accordingly, the cleaning phase must be
activated prior to the next measurement.

The bath temperature stabilizes at the earlier established value after the viscosity
measurement has been started. The capillary tube type (sensor A or B) is recognized
automatically. As soon as the bath temperature is reached, the tempering period
begins to adjust the sample to the bath temperature. To obtain a faster tempering of
the sample, the sample can be moved during the tempering period; this is called the
"Dynamic tempering type". Particle deposits on the capillary tube can lead to
erroneous measurement results; this applies in particular to black samples. It will be
necessary to use the static tempering type in this case.
The measurement cycle is repeated until two sequential measurement results are
within the programmed tolerance (see chapter Programming Analysis Tolerance).
The flushing and drying process begins after the viscosity measurement. The
cleaning of the capillary tubes can be programmed such that two different solvents
are used sequentially. Air is used for the drying process.
The cleaning system consists of 14 solenoid valves, one vacuum pump and a compressed air pump (see chapter Cleaning Cycle).

End of test
After the viscosity has been measured, it will be possible to display the viscosity of
the sample as well as all flow periods and to print a test protocol.
These functions are available prior to the start of a new measurement phase.

General information
The parameter menu is selected by pressing the "M" key. Four user-defined
programs can be established with this program. The program to be changed is
selected by pressing the program key "P".
The parameters are blocked when a measurement phase has started. The capillary
constant can only be changed for a measurement point that has not been started.
01 Parameter
Password: ########
The standard password for the HVU 480/481/482 set by the manufacturer is
"00000000" (eight zeros). The use of this password makes it unnecessary to enter a
password to change the parameters. The operator can change this password (see
chapter Change Password) to prevent unauthorized changes to the parameters.
Attention: Should the password become lost, the system can be reset to the
standard password. All of the following steps require that the testing
unit HVU480/481/482 is disconnected from the power supply. Open the
electronic unit and bridge WP1 pins 1 and 2 on circuit board 607-083
or, on older models, bridge WP1 pins 3 and 4 on circuit board 607-059.
The location of the circuit boards is described in chapter HVU
480/481/482 Electronics Overview. Chapter HVU480/481/482
Documentation also contains the wiring diagrams of the circuit boards
indicating the position of the WP's. The unit must be turned on for
approximately one minute. It is now necessary to remove the bridge and
close the electronic unit with a freed testing unit.

Standard/non-standard
Standard parameters are pre-programmed for the testing process. The message
"Standard" appears on the display, when the parameters were not changed. The
message "Non-standard" appears, when a parameter (with the exception of the
capillary constants, bath temperature, temperature unit, bath calibration, slop sensor,
acceleration due to gravity) was changed. The right-arrow key is used to re-enter the
standard values in this case. The display changes again to "Standard".
Attention: All parameters are reset, when the standard values are re-entered.
For example, bath temperature to 40 C, capillary constants to 0.1, etc.
However, the term "Standard" has nothing to do with the parameters used to maintain
the standard method; it only indicates that the manufacturer's parameters are used or
not.
7.3
Left Capillary
To enter the capillary constant, press the "up" arrow key and enter the calibration
constant of capillary (left side). The capillary tube constant is the relation between
flow time and viscosity. This value is stamped on a tag that is attached to the

If no cleaning is programmed, the sample will remain in the capillary tube at the conclusion of the viscosity analysis. The sample can then be re-analyzed (at the same or
a different bath temperature), manually removed by suction and cleaned or
automatically removed and cleaned with the cleaning program.
The cleaning cycle consists of 3 base operations: Pre-flush (dissolve) solvent 1,
cleaning with solvent 1 and 2 and drying.

Pre-flush
After analysis is complete and prior to removal from the capillary, the HVU
480/481/482 can be programmed to add solvent to the sample. By adding solvent to
the sample the possibility of sample material plugging or fouling valves is reduced.
Samples that are wax free or will not thicken upon cooling may not require a preflush cycle. Very waxy or viscous materials may require two pre-flush cycles. For
materials that require two pre-flush cycles, the "cleaning" program should use
solvent 1 six times and solvent 2 at least three times.
Press the arrow "up" key and key in the number of pre-flush cycles. Selection range
is a minimum of 0 and maximum of 2 (each cycle uses 10mL of solvent).

10 ml of solvent is used for each cleaning cycle. Solvent is added to the four tubes
(air, fill, capillary, and cleaning). Dirty solvent is then sucked into the slop container.
The number of cleaning cycles required depends on the sample material being
cleaned and the composition of the solvent. Two cleaning cycles are usually

If the difference between the ambient air temperature and the bath temperature is less
than 15K with an HVU 480/481 and 20K with an HVU 482, an independent cooling
system must be connected to the HVU 480/481/482.
To reverse the sign use the arrow right key.
Enter the bath temperature. The HVU 480/481/482 will begin adjustment to the

Bath calibration
The accuracy of the bath temperature also plays a role in the viscosity measurement.
The bath for the HVU 480/481/482 can be calibrated for ten different temperatures
(HVU 480/481from +20 C to +150 C / +68 F to +302 F and HVU 482 from 40
to +100 C / -40 to +212 F).
When a non-calibrated temperature is selected, the offset for this temperature is
determined by interpolation. However, there is no guarantee that the bath
temperature is maintained at the correct level.
Attention: There will be no interpolation, when the tempering bath was calibrated
for 40 C and 100 C and the bath temperature was selected at 130 C.
The calibration is carried out with a suitable calibrated mercury thermometer. With
the help of the enclosed thermometer holder, said thermometer is placed in the bath
in place of the capillary tube. After the bath temperature light stops blinking, the
temperature is read from the thermometer and entered. This new value is confirmed
by pressing the START key and the new offset value is calculated automatically.
This process is repeated until the displayed bath temperature agrees with the mercury
thermometer temperature.
The calibration must be checked from time to time (see chapter HVU 480/481/482
Calibration).

The DIL switch S1 on circuit board 607-084 or 607-063 is used to reset the
temperature offsets to zero.
Disconnect the HVU 480/481/482 from the power supply and remove the hood of the
electronics unit. The DIL switch is located on circuit board 607-63 or 607-84
adjacent to the 9-pole plug (see drawing in the hardware instructions). Switch 6 must
be in the "off" position. Turn the unit on for approximately one minute. The offsets
of all temperatures are now reset to zero. Switch the DIL switch 1.6 to "on" and
close the housing.

The solenoid valve (HVU 482 optional) opens and allows the solvent to flow through
the cooling agent distributor of the HVU 480/481/482, when the programmed bath
temperature is lower than the cooling valve temperature.
This function is provided for a situation, in which the temperature difference between
ambient temperature and bath temperature is less than 15 C, thus requiring a counter
cooling phase to bring the bath to the required temperature.
The initial temperature of the cooling system should be approximately 10 C at
HVU 480/482 and 20 C at HVU 482 lower than the required bath temperature and
the cooling medium flow should be constant to ensure a constant bath temperature in
the HVU 480/481/482 with the use of a cooling system (For example: bath
temperature of the HVU 480/481/ = 20 C, cooling system = 10 C).

A slop sensor (order number 110-084) can be connected to the HVU 480/481/482. It
is necessary to select "slop sensor yes", when a slop sensor is used to prevent an
overflow of the slop container.
Should several units are used with one slop sensor, the slop sensor is to connected to
the master unit. The other units are coded as slaves and are linked to the master unit
(see chapter Connection of several HVU 480/481/482 units to one printer).
Are the units networked, but everyone has its own slop sensor, it is neccessary to
make a hardware change.(see chapter Connection of a slop sensor)
Comment: A disconnected slop sensor may cause an overflow at the slop container.
"Slop sensor no" must be selected, when no slop sensor is connected. When no slop
sensor is used, the slop container must be designed such that the solvent containers
are empty before the slop container overflows. Accordingly, it will be necessary to
drain only the slop container, when the solvent containers are full.

Before calibrating your capillary tubes, confirm that the bath temperature is correct
with a calibrated mercury thermometer. Use a reference standard with a known
viscosity value when calibrating capillary tubes (see chapter HVU 480/481/482
Calibration)).
To calculate new capillary constants, divide the viscosity of the standard by the
average value of the last flow times (having a consistent value).
Const (mm2 / sec2) =
The viscosity of your standard must have a minimum flow time in the capillary of

8 Viscosity measurements
8.1
General
Select the requested program by pressing program key "P". Press the START key
and enter the sample number, if required. Again press the START key until the
message appears. The analysis is carried out automatically. The end of the
measurement process is indicated by an acoustic signal that must be confirmed by
pressing the STOP key. This is followed by a display of the viscosity value.
Note/Cleaning: Do not use acetone as a cleaning solvent at the HVU 480. Acetone
will destroy the Viton seals used in the HVU 480 valve system.
In concentrations of 50% or less, aromatics can be used as cleaning
solvent material. Herzog recommends a mixture of 50% aromatics
(ex. Toluene) mixed with cleaning solvent. It is necessary to
change the Viton hose sockets for the viskometer connection
after 100 measurements.
With the HVU 481/482 the solvent restriction are not valid. In the
HVU 481/482 valve system it is only Kalrez and Teflon used. But
it is necessary to change all HVU481-hose sockets and the filling
hose socket of the HVU482 for the viskometer connection after 100
measurements.
The boiling range of the solvent must be higher than the bath temperature. Solvent 2 must be a solvent that dries easily.

You can also dry the viscometer with the HVU 482 by connecting it to the HVU 482
without inserting it into the bath.
After having run a cleaning cycle with at least 5 minutes drying, you can place the
viscometer in the thermostated bath.
8.3
HVU482 and Viscometer with hose
connection
It is also possible to use viscometer with hose connection in the HVU482. But they
could only be used at a bath temperature higher than +20C. To connect the
viscometers with the HVU482 it is necessary to use a set of adapters (108-332).
8.4
Preparation and execution of viscosity
measurements
1. Switch on the HVU 480/481/482 and press the "start" key.
2. Select a capillary tube, for which the discharge time of the oil corresponds to the
ASTM standard. The following equation applies: kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) =
discharge time (s) x calibration factor (mm2/s2). The maximum discharge time
that can be measured is 1800 seconds.
3. Place the capillary tubes (only dried ones for the HVU 482) in the bath (change
the capillary constant in the parameter menu, if required). Connect the capillary
tubes to the appropriate sensor connection. Pay attention to the colour coding of
the capillary tube connection hoses. The colour code of the plastic hoses must
agree with the designation of the capillary tubes.
4. With the "right" or "left" arrow key, designate the right or left capillary for
viscosity analysis.
5. With a hypodermic syringe inject 20 ml sample into the fill tube (white coded)
to the top filling mark. Make sure not to trap air into the capillary fill tube.

6. Select the requested program by pressing program key "P". Press the START key
and enter the sample number, if required. Again press the START key until the
message appears. The analysis is carried out automatically. At the end of the
measurement process the viscosity value is displayed.
7. The cleaning cycle will begin automatically when programmed.
8. Depending on the selected program the instrument will print the result
automatically or on request.
8.5
Measuring result deviations with the
HVU 482
Measuring result deviations can be caused by
Humidity in the solvent => dry the solvent with the molecular sieve
Humidity in the sample => dry the sample with the molecular sieve
Saturated drying beads in the drying tube => exchange the drying beads
Undried Viscometers have been placed in the bath => take the viscometer out
of the bath, warm it up and dry it.

An error is indicated by the sounding of the buzzer and the message "Error" on the
display. This message and the buzzer can be cancelled with the key "Stop". Use the
"M" key to bring up the menu "Messages". This menu indicates the number of errors
that have occurred. Using the up-arrow key provides you with the number and a short
description of the errors. The error is cleared and thus deleted from the error list
using the HLIS Software. The table that follows gives a more accurate description of
the error.
When a test was interrupted by an error, the sample remains in the capillary; it can
thus be measured after remedying the error.
When the flushing cycle was interrupted by an error, it will be necessary to start the
flushing cycle again after remedying the error to ensure that the system is clean and
dry.
Starting a test deletes all previous messages. There are basically four types of
messages:
Messages that have no effect on the testing procedure
Messages that cause a shut-down of the test
Messages that require a RESET (the unit is turned off and then on again) to make the
unit operational again
Messages for checksum errors. With these types of errors, the standard parameters
are set automatically in the respective program.
Comments: Make sure an error message was not prompted by an operating error.
Communication problems (transfer) between the master and slave in the
unit can be caused by external sources; this can lead to a program crash.
When an error was triggered by such a problem, it can be cancelled with
a RESET (the unit is turned off and then on again). Each unit (circuit
board) must have a proper voltage supply. The respective cable
connections should also be checked.
Caution:
The power plug must be removed prior to working on the test unit.

11 Cleaning Cycle
11.1
General information
Attention: When the flushing cycle was aborted due to an error or a command
from the keyboard, a complete flushing cycle must be carried out
nevertheless. This ensures that the flushing unit and the capillary tubes
are clean and dry.
The cleaning phase for the HVU 480/481/482 after a measurement consists of three
basic steps that can be programmed with the cleaning program function
(CLEANING) in menu "P" or with the parameter program.
Initial flushing Mixing of the sample with the solvent and removal of the
mixture
Flushing
Drying
To program the cleaning functions by means of the parameter program, the operator
must indicate "YES" for the parameter "Cleaning". Press the right-arrow key to do
so.
The cleaning options are identical for a request made from the cleaning program
function (CLEANING) in menu "P" or from the parameter program (see chapter
Cleaning up to chapter Drying ).
A display indicating the present cleaning status of the HVU 480/481/482 appears in
the display when requesting the cleaning program function (CLEANING) in menu
"P". The cleaning function for the left capillary tube can be programmed in the
example shown below. Press the START key or the arrow-up key to proceed to the
next programming function.

Cleaning Cycle

11.2
Initial flushing
The viscometer HVU 480/481/482 can be programmed such that the solvent is added
to the sample liquid prior to its removal. The supply of solvent to the sample liquid
reduces the risk of the sample material clogging the valves.
Paraffin-free samples or samples that do not thicken during the cooling may not
require an initial flushing; on the other hand, samples with a high paraffin content or
highly viscous samples may require two initial flushing cycles. With materials
requiring two initial cycles, solvent 1 must be used six times and solvent 2 at least
three times during the cleaning program.
The entered value must vary between 0 and 2 (10 ml solvent are used for each cycle).
Press the START key or the arrow-up key to proceed to the next programming
function.
L>K=0.02916
Sample disolve
11.3
Flushing
Solvent 1 must have a good dissolving effect on the sample material and must clean
the capillary tube to a large degree. The entered value must range between 0 and 9.
A solvent quantity of 10 ml is used for each cleaning cycle. The solvent is piped
through four tubes (filling tube, capillary tube, air tube and flushing tube). The contaminated solvent is subsequently piped to the slop container by means of a vacuum.
The number of required cleaning cycles is a function of the sample material to be removed and of the solvent composition. Two cleaning cycles are generally sufficient.
L>K=0.02916
Solvent 1
You must indicate the number of times the capillary tubes are to be cleaned with solvent 2. The entered value must range between 0 and 9.
After flushing out solvent 1, the capillary tubes are cleaned with solvent 2. The
components of solvent 2 must become fully volatile during the drying with air.
A solvent quantity of 10 ml is used for each cleaning cycle. The contaminated
solvent is flushed into the slop container. One or two cleaning cycles are generally
sufficient.

Drying
After the completion of cleaning processes 1 and 2, air is with the help of a vacuum
piped through the capillary tubes to remove the remaining solvent by way of
evaporation. The required drying period is a function of the volatility of solvent 2. A
drying period of 10 minutes is generally used.
Indicate the period, for which the capillary tubes must be dried (time in minutes).
The entered value should range between 0 minutes (no drying) and 99 minutes.
Attention: The subsequent measurements could be erroneous, when the capillary
tubes are not dried after the flushing.

General
To calibrate the HVU 480/481/482 bath and capillaries, use calibrated mercury
thermometers (minimum resolution 0.01 C). Remove capillary from the bath and
place the plastic capillary cover in its place. Slide the mercury thermometer through
the capillary cover hole so you can read it through the bath window.
Note: Make sure that mercury thread in the calibrated thermometer is intact.
If the mercury is separated, cool the thermometer down and then heat it
up, shake it gently if necessary. Mercury thread must be complete (not
separated).
Enter temperature values by following these steps:
1. Operator must be in "parameter" program for bath calibration (see chapter Bath
calibration).
2. Be sure that the bath temperature is stable (temperature display is NOT
flashing)
3. With the calibrated mercury thermometer in the bath, read the temperature
value.
4. Enter the bath temperature from the thermometer with the HVU 480/481/482
numeric keypad (include decimals).
5. Push the "start" key to enter the calibrated temperature value.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 until the bath temperature is correct.
Before calibrating capillaries, the HVU 480/481/482 bath must be calibrated.
Capillary calibration procedures are described in "ASTM Petroleum Products and
Lubricants (1), Volume 5.01". Reference ASTM Designation: D446-89a, Standard
Specifications and Operating Instructions for Glass Capillary Kinematic
Viscometers1.

Another criterion responsible for the precision of the viscosity measurement is the
time measurement of the instrument. To check this criterion you need the time
calibration LED (P/N 638-040) available as accessory and a calibrated stop watch.
Attention! Software version (S3/S4) from 4.0A is necessary.
1. Plug the time calibration LED into the female connector of the NTC sensor
(sensor B) (instead of the capillary tube)
2. Switch the instrument off and about 30 seconds later on again.
3. Having switched the instrument on again, the LED will light for about 5
seconds. The extinguishing of the LED is the starting signal for the time
measurement.
4.
Now the condition of the LED changes every 600.00 Seconds (10 minutes).
5. To keep a measuring fault, which may arise due to different reaction times
using a manual stop watch, rather low, we recommend to determine the time
in several cycles. The relative uncertanity of the time measurements must not
exceed 2*10-4 [DIN 51562-1]. The checking function is stopped as soon as a
viscosity test is started.
