P/N M/97-520 5-3
Disassembly and Cleaning
The following procedures will guide you through this process. The solvent
used for cleaning the viscometer is dependent upon the process fluid being
measured.
CAUTION
Always replace endcap O-rings when disassembling and cleaning the vis-
cometer. Refer to Appendix A and contact Brookfield Engineering Labo-
ratories, Inc. to order replacement O-rings.
CAUTION
Depending upon the application, the torsion element and other internal
components may be coated with Teflon. Make sure the solvent being used
does not harm Teflon. Do not scrape surfaces coated with Teflon.
Cleaning the Sensing Endcap Assembly
WARNING
Make sure power has been turned OFF at the motor and torque sensor
electronics enclosures before servicing the viscometer.
1. Shut power OFF to the motor and torque sensor electronics
enclosures.
CAUTION
Handle the sensing endcap assembly with care when removing it from the
measuring chamber to prevent damage to the torsion element.
2. Remove seven of the eight screws that secure the sensing endcap to
the measuring chamber as shown in Figure 5-1.
3. While holding the sensing endcap in position, remove the last screw
and carefully remove the sensing endcap from the measuring
chamber as shown in Figure 5-1.
