The full-scale viscosity range for any DVNext model and spindle may be calculated using the equation:
Full Scale Viscosity Range:
where:
TK = DVNext Torque Constant from Table D-2
SMC = Spindle Multiplier Constant from Table D-1
The Shear Rate calculation is:
(Shear Stress (D/cm2)) = Viscosity (P) * Shear Rate (1/sec)
= TK * SMC * SRC * TORQ
The immersion mark selected aects the stress calculations. Ensure the selected immersion mark reflects the mark
in use.
Each spindle has a Yield Multiplier Constant (YMC) for stress calculations and a Spindle Multiplier Constant (SMC)
for calibration checks (see Appendix E) as shown in Table D-3. Spindle dimensions are also listed.
Table D-3
Spindle Spindle YMC SMC Vane Length Vane Diameter
V-71 71 0.5 2.62 2.708 6.878 1.354 3.439
V-72 72 2.0 11.1 1.706 4.333 .853 2.167
V-73 73 10.0 53.5 .998 2.535 .499 1.267
V-74 74 100.0 543 .463 1.176 .232 .589
V-75 75 40.0 213 .632 1.61 .316 .803
Note: If secondary immersion mark is selected, the YMC value is doubled.
The full scale Yield Stress range for any DVNext model and spindle may be calculated using the equation:
Full Scale Yield Stress Range (Pa) = TK x YMC x 10
Where: TK = DVNext Ultra Torque Constant from Table D-2
YMC = Yield Multiplier Constant from Table D-3
The following speeds are available for yield tests.
