  • Page 11: Unit Description

    Unit Description Unit Description 7.1 Principle of the measurement The HAAKE Falling Ball Viscometer measures the viscosity of transparent newtonian liquids. This viscosity is correlated to the time a ball requires to fall a defined distance. The rol- ling and sliding movement of the ball through the sample filled into a slightly inclined cylindrical measuring tube is de- scribed by means of the fall time.

    Measuring 9.1 Preparation for a test 9.1.1 Temperature control The HAAKE Falling Ball Viscometer may be temperature controlled in a temperature range from --20 C up to +150C using liquid circulators. Ensure that the sample to be measured is homogeneously tempered.
  • Page 14: Selection Of The Balls

    Measuring 9.1.3 Selection of the balls The standard ball set contains 6 balls, which pass through the measuring tube of an inner diameter of approximately 15.94 0.01 mm. Order- Ball Made of Density Diameter Constant K Recomm. (standard of the ball (approx.) measuring values)
  • Page 15: Measurement Of The Falling Times

    Measuring 9.2 Measurement of the falling times The jacket tube snaps into a defined 10-position at the bot- tom of the instrument. By turning over the jacket tube, the ball is set to the measu- ring position. The falling time of the ball moving from the ring mark A to ring mark B is determined by using a stop watch.
  • Page 16: Evaluation Of The Test Results

    Measuring 9.3 Evaluation of the test results The dynamic viscosity  (in mPas) is calculated using the following equation:  = K ( --  ) ¡ t where: K = ball constant in mPascm /gs (see chapter 11) = density of the ball in g/cm (see chapter 11) ...
  • Page 17: Reproducibility

    Measuring To evaluate the reliability of the results the following criteria may be used: 9.3.1 Reproducibility (one person, one instrument) If one person determines two test results under identical test conditions, these results are supposed to be acceptable if they do not vary more than the figures stated in the table below from the average value.
  • Page 18: Viscosity Determination Of Gases

    Measuring 9.4 Viscosity determination of gases The viscosity determination of gases has to be done with ball G which is made out of glass. The measuring tube must be closed with rubber stop- pers fitted with glass stopcocks. Measuring tube, glass ball and gas must be clean and dry.
  • Page 19: Cleaning The Measuring Tube

    Cleaning the Measuring Tube 10. Cleaning the Measuring Tube Usually the tube is cleaned by rinsing it with a suitable solvent. High viscous liquids (glue and heavy oils, etc.) have to be removed with the cleaning piston which is supplied with the instrument.
  • Page 20: Calibration Of The Falling Ball Viscometer

    Calibration 11. Calibration of the Falling Ball Viscometer The falling ball viscometer is checked according to the HAAKE regulations before delivery. The geometry relates strictly on the DIN 53015/ISO 12058 and therefore the listed ball constants can be used. The calibration of the instrument can be done using nation- ally recyclable calibration fluids.
  • Page 21 Calibration The calibration fluids should be stored in dark rooms and be used within 3 months after their date of expiry. The disposal depends of the composition of the substance which is listed in the “EC - - SAFETY DATA SHEET”. It is absolutely essential that for calibration the instructions for filling the tube and cleaning are closely adhered to.
