TT100 In-Line Viscometer Installation, Operation, Maintenance and Service Instructions
P/N M/97-520 4-3
Start-up
Once the TT100 In-Line Viscometer has been installed as described in
Section 2 - Installation and proper calibration has been verified as
described in Section 3 - Calibration, the viscometer can be energized.
CAUTION
Do not energize the TT100 In-Line Viscometer motor equipped with a
double mechanical seal housing unless the fluid pressure has been applied.
Damage to the double mechanical seal assembly may occur.
Do not operate the TT100 In-Line Viscometer motor for more than five (5)
revolutions when the measuring chamber is empty. The mechanical seals
may be damaged.
Do not operate the TT100 In-Line Viscometer motor if the process fluid
temperature or double mechanical seal assembly pressure is not within
normal operating specifications. Damage to the viscometer may result.
1. If the TT100 In-Line Viscometer is equipped with a double-seal
housing, apply the barrier fluid.
2. Add process fluid to the viscometer as follows:
a. Loosen, but do not remove the bleed screw.
b. Allow the process fluid to slowly flow into the viscometer
until the fluid flows out of the bleed screw opening.
c. Tighten the bleed screw.
3. Check the viscometer motor for proper operation by performing the
following steps:
a. Set the POWER switch on the Torque Sensor Electronics
Enclosure to the ON position.
b. Set the POWER switch on the Motor Control Enclosure to
the ON position.
c. Observe the display device. The torque sensor output signal
should increase in a positive direction.
