Page 4: Introduction
The HTHS Series II is capable of testing at a temperature of 150°C as specified in ASTM D 5481. For other applications, temperature may be set as low as 25°C above ambient. -
Page 5: Hths Specifications
(DEC99) requires HTHS viscosities from 2.6 to 3.7 mPa•s. Because the HT75 standard has a nominal viscosity of 2.7 mPa•s and the HT150 ® standard has a nominal viscosity of of 3.7 mPa•s, CANNON recom- mends that the users calculate cell volumes using either of these stan- dards. -
Page 6: Operator Safety
Operator safety Please observe the following safety procedures and notices for proper operation of your HTHS Series II instrument. Deviation from the installa- tion, operation or maintenance procedures described in this manual may result in a hazardous situation and may void the manufacturer's warranty. - Page 7 Refer all service and repairs to qualified personnel. • Do not attempt to service the unit beyond the service and/or repair procedures detailed in this manual or other documentation provided by the manufacturer. Contact CANNON ® Instrument Company for all additional service/repair needs.

Page 8: Apparatus Description
The container slides into place at the left front of the HTHS Series II. A hinged door provides protection from hot oil. At the rear, an internal fan draws vapors into the exhaust manifold. -
Page 9: Operation
HTHS internal rear view including pressure relief rupture disc assembly Thermostat The HTHS Series II is equipped with a thermostat that prevents the instrument from overheating. If temperature rises to an unacceptable level (160°C ± 5°C), power will be removed from the HTHS and will not be restored until the instrument has cooled to a safe state. -

Page 14: High Shear Viscosity Calculator
The High-Shear Viscosity Calculator is a standalone software package that calculates viscosity of a sample in mPa·s (cP) using efflux time and ® pressure values obtained during testing with the CANNON High- Temperature High-Shear Viscometer (HTHS). The Calculator also provides a routine for ensuring the accuracy of constants used in viscos- ity calculation. -
