Section 4 - Operation
Introduction
Once the TT100 In-Line Viscometer has been installed as described in
Section 2 - Installation and calibrated as described in Section 3 -
Calibration, the viscometer is ready to be used.
CAUTION
Do not proceed with the operation of the viscometer unless the calibration
has been verified as described in Fine Zero Milliampere Calibration Test
in Section 3 - Calibration.
Mechanical Seal Requirements
The TT100 In-Line Viscometer is provided with mechanical face seals
which prevents the leakage of process fluid into or from the measuring
chamber at the drive shaft entry point. The seals are designed for
continuous operation only if lubricated (wetted) by a film of clear fluid at
their point of face contact.
CAUTION
Do not operate the viscometer motor for more than five (5) revolutions
when the measuring chamber is empty. The mechanical seals may be
damaged.
Do not operate a TT100 In-Line Viscometer equipped with a double
mechanical seal unless the seal housing is supplied with an appropriate
pressurized fluid as described in Section 2 - Installation.
