Positioning the Viscometer
The viscometer must be positioned so that it is
possible to operate the disconnecting device
(green switch on side of unit, or mains plug
switch).
The viscometer must not be located where
vibration can affect its operation e.g. where a
centrifuge is on the same bench or on a
neighbouring connected bench.
The viscometer should be located in an
environment which has a constant
temperature and as per the operating
environment conditions earlier in this
document.
Do not locate the viscometer next to an
opening window or in direct sunlight as
temperature variations can affect result
repeatability.
3.7. Transport considerations
There is no standard packaging for the BV200. The unit is normally delivered by Benson
Viscometers engineers.
Be aware that the unit is heavy (35Kg) and should be regarded as a 2-person lift.
The analyser is heavy – 35Kg
and should not be lifted by 1 person
It is recommended that you contact the Benson Viscometers Support Desk where we can offer
a costed viscometer relocation service to decontaminate, decommission and relocate with
minimal local assistance, then set-up and fully re-commission the viscometer including a fully
documented and certificated acceptance procedure, leaving the viscometer in a ready to use
condition.
