Section 2 - Installation
Unpacking and Inspection
NOTE: Upon receipt, inspect the shipping carton and viscometer
components for shipping damage. Report any damage to the shipping
company immediately.
The shipping carton should contain the following components:
• TT100 In-Line Viscometer
• Torque Sensor Enclosure and Cable
• Motor Controller Enclosure and Cable
• Instruction Manual
• Calibration Bars and Tools
• Optional Equipment
NOTE: Make sure the calibration bars are kept in a safe place and
accessible for use during calibration.
Installation Requirements
NOTE: Refer to the TT100 In-Line Viscometer Specification sheet to
determine the configuration of the viscometer.
The TT100 In-Line Viscometer must be installed in a manner that will
optimize its performance. The installation requirements are:
• Provide a continuous product stream to the viscometer with a
minimum time lag between changes in process and their effects on
the viscometer. This stream must be representative of other process
fluid.
• Install the viscometer so that it is always full of fluid without air
pockets or voids. Upflow line mounting is recommended as shown
in Figure 2-1. Avoid pipe configurations which allow air or solids
to collect in the viscometer. The viscometer can only measure the
viscosity of fluids contained in the measuring annulus.
