Taking A Measurement In Automatic Mode - Elcometer 2250 Operating Instructions Manual

6 TAKING A MEASUREMENT IN AUTOMATIC MODE

Use the automatic mode of your Elcometer Krebs Viscometer for your standard testing - it will help
you to conduct tests easily, rapidly and consistently.
Note: Do not select automatic mode when using a ½ pint (USA) can - the neck of this can
is too narrow to allow the spindle blades to pass through without manual intervention;
always select manual mode when using a ½ pint (USA) can (see "Taking a measurement
in manual mode" on page 14).
1. Attach the spindle to the drive head (see "Fitting the spindle" on page 8).
2. Fit the large sample container support onto the locating plug on the base of the instrument.
Check that the sample container fits into the recess in the top of the sample container support.
3. Pour the correct amount of sample to be tested into the sample container (see "Sample
quantity" on page 9).
4. Place the sample container onto the sample container support.
5. Switch on the Viscometer (use the power on/off switch at rear of head).
