10.4.2 Units.
The ADVANCE-type viscometer allows the user to select the units that are used for measuring viscosity and
temperature.
The possible choices for dynamic viscosity are:
-
International system of units (Pa·s or mPa·s)
-
Centimetre-gram-second system of units (Poise or centipoises)
And those of temperature units are:
-
Celsius (ºC)
-
Fahrenheit (ºF)
When the cursor key, ‘’, points to the units submenu, it can be accessed by pressing the ‘ENTER’ key and
the viscometer will show the following screen:
By default, this submenu screen for ‘Units’ comes configured with the temperature unit’s field selected.
Press the ‘TAB’ key to change to the viscosity units. Press ‘TAB’ again to return to the temperature units.
Once the desired field has been selected, the units to be used with the viscometer can be varied by using
the ‘’ and ‘’ keys to switch the options.
After the desired units have been selected, press the ‘ENTER’ key to save the changes and return to the
configuration main menu screen.
10.4.3 Calibration
This submenu contains the viscosity calibration options that the user can exploit to recalibrate the viscometer.
IMPORTANT:
The viscometer contains a default calibration element, which is installed during the
manufacturing process. It is for this reason that it is unnecessary to calibrate the
equipment when using it for the first time. Nevertheless, certain norms of quality
recommend that the equipment be recalibrated once a year, which is why we offer the
user the possibility of realizing this calibration without needing to send the viscometer
back to the usual provider, or to FUNGILAB.
FUNGILAB cannot be held responsible for the measurements taken by an
independently recalibrated viscometer and it is essential to follow the instructions
given by Fungilab carefully when recalibrating.
