8.1 Setting up the Rheometer

Lift the Rheometer out of the package and place onto a
stable, level table. Do not lift the unit at the glass pane or
at the measuring head ! For sensible measurements a
plane table is recommended.
In the base of the measuring instrument, there are four feet
which can be screwed in or out for levelling the unit.Upon
completion of the preliminary visual levelling, exact precision
levelling can be carried out using the spirit level supplied.
The spirit level:
1
 is put on the measuring plate at temperature control
unit TCL/P; TCE/P; TCE/PC and TCP/P.
 is put into connection with a vessel at temperature con-
trol unit TCL/Z.
 is put on the measuring plate in the vessel at tempera-
ture control unit SHRP.
 is not used at temperature control unit TCO.
Adjust the feet so that the air bubbles remain in the cen-
2
ter of the spirit level.
This adjustment process should be repeated at least once a
week.
