compliance with the following Council Directives Council directive 89/336/EEC EN61326 EMC directive Council directive 73/23/EEC EN60950

EN61326 Emission and Immunity.

Safety of Information Technology Equipment

Note

The CE mark is an official mandatory European marking. Please note that any electronic product must comply with local laws and regulations when sold or used anywhere outside Europe.

1-2 Features

 High accuracy

The Sine-wave Vibro Viscometer achieves a high measurement accuracy of 1%*

(repeatability) over the full range.

*1 Refer to "14. SPECIFICATIONS" on page 58.

 Wide range continuous measurement

Continuous measurement over the whole measuring range is possible, without replacing the

viscosity detection sensor plates.

 Standard temperature sensor

The temperature sensor to measure the sample temperature is installed as standard. The

temperature sensor is located between the two sensor plates. So, the accurate detection of

the relation between temperature and viscosity is possible.

 Accurate measurement

Due to the low heat capacity of the viscosity detection unit (sensor plates and temperature

sensor), the time required for temperature equilibrium is short. Thus, the sample viscosity can

be measured accurately in a short time.

 Long continuous measurement time

The sensor plates, with a low frequency of 30 Hz and an amplitude of less than 1 mm, apply

very little load to the sample. So, the viscometer can continuously obtain stable viscosity

values without causing a temperature rise or damaging the sample.

 Measurement of a non-Newtonian fluid/foaming sample

The thin sensor plates allow little deformation of the sample texture. Thus, non-Newtonian fluid

can be measured in a stable way. And, foaming samples can be measured without breaking

minute foam particles and with less influence scattering large foam particles.

When measuring tap water, bubbles may accumulate on the sensor plates, increasing the

viscosity.

 Measurement of a flowing sample

The two sensor plates oscillate in the opposite direction. So, even when a sample is in motion,

errors are eliminated. This allows measurement of a sample while being stirred. The

viscometer can be used for a flowing product line, which enables field management with

identical data used at the laboratories.

 Calibration

The viscometer can be calibrated using a standard viscosity fluid or a sample of a known

viscosity. Calibration allows the viscometer to maintain the accuracy constantly.

By calibrating an actual sample, using the viscosity value obtained by another type of

viscometer as a correction value, the measurement data obtained by the SV series viscometer

can be combined into those obtained by the other type of viscometer.

 Simplified calibration when measuring the viscosity near 1 mPa⋅s, (SV-10 only)

Simplified calibration using purified water is a one-key operation. The SV-10 has a built-in

function to measure the temperature of the purified water using the temperature sensor and

calculates the viscosity value of the purified water at that temperature.

At this time, be careful not to influence the viscosity value by generating bubbles.

 Standard windows communication tools WinCT-Viscosity

Windows communication tools WinCT-Viscosity (CD-ROM) is provided as standard. The

CD-ROM contains the graphing program RsVisco, which imports the data to a personal

computer and displays the results as a graph in real time. With RsVisco, changes in viscosity

over time and temperature dependency of viscosity can be observed easily and the obtained

data can be saved in files.

2. UNPACKING THE VISCOMETER

2-1 Unpacking

 The viscometer is a precision instrument. Unpack the viscometer carefully. Keep the packing

material to be used for transporting the viscometer in the future.

4. PRECAUTIONS

To get the optimum performance from the viscometer and acquire accurate measurement data, note the following:

4-1 General Precautions

 Install the viscometer in an environment where the temperature and humidity are not excessive.

The best operating temperature is 25°C±2°C at 45-60% relative humidity.

 For precise measurement, install the viscometer where there are no great changes in

temperature and humidity.

 Install the viscometer where it is not exposed to direct sunlight and it is not affected by heaters

or air conditioners.

 Install the viscometer where it is free of dust.

 Install the viscometer away from equipment which produces magnetic fields.

 The viscometer uses the Tuning-fork Vibration Method. So, use much care to avoid external

vibration, especially when measuring low viscosity.

Places where the viscometer is prone to vibration are:

Second or higher floor, soft ground, near busy highways or rail lines.

Avoid these places as a measuring site. If measurement is to be performed in such a place, use

an anti-vibration table that is available as an option (AD-1685).

 Protect the internal parts from liquid spills and excessive dust.

 Do not disassemble the viscometer.

 When precise measurement is required, acclimatize the viscometer to the measuring

environment. After installation, plug in the AC adapter and warm up the viscometer for one hour

or more.

4-2 During Use

 To level the surface of the sample; adjust the leveling feet so that the center of the narrow part

of the right and left sensor plates is on the liquid surface.

 The viscosity of a liquid is temperature dependent and changes by negative 2 to negative 10

percent, per degree Celsius. Take changes in the liquid temperature into consideration for an

accurate measurement.

 Be sure to calibrate using the standard viscosity fluid or purified water before measurement.

In a measurement that takes a long time, perform calibration periodically, as necessary.

 Placing the sensor plates and the temperature sensor in the sample may change the sample

temperature. For precise measurement, leave the sample as is for a while, after placing the sensor plates and the temperature sensor, to ensure no changes to the sample temperature.

And then, start a measurement.

 Ensure a stable power source when using the AC adapter.

 Use only your finger to press the keys. Using a sharp instrument such as a pen may damage

keys.

 The sample cup is made of polycarbonate (PC) and is not appropriate for organic solvents.

When organic solvents are used as a sample fluid, do not use the accessory sample cup. Use

the glass sample cup (AX-SV-35) that is sold separately or a commercially-available glass

beaker.

 The protector can be raised or removed. So, even when a beaker is used, the viscosity can be

measured with a small amount of sample.

How to remove the protector:

Press the left and right side frames lightly in the

direction indicated as 1 to remove the rotational axis.

Pull the protector in the direction indicated as 2 to

remove.

4-3 After Use

 Remove any residual sample material from the sensor plates, temperature sensor and

protector using alcohol. Using the sensor plates, temperature sensor and protector with

residue of an old sample left on will cause a measurement error.

Clean the sensor plates carefully to avoid bending them.

The sensor plates and the temperature sensor are made of stainless steel (SUS304). The

surface is plated with 24K gold.

Note

Liquids with strong acidity may remove the gold plating and corrode the sensor plates and the temperature sensor.

How to clean the sensor plates and temperature sensor

Hold the sensor plate or temperature sensor with

tissue paper. Move the tissue paper downward to

remove the sample.

Then, use tissue paper moistened with alcohol,

to remove any residual sample material.

 Clean the sample cup as necessary.

 Unlock the cable connector before disconnecting the connection cable.

How to unlock the cable connector

4-4 Measuring the Absolute Value of Viscosity

The SV Series Sine-wave Vibro Viscometer, as a measuring principle, detects the product of viscosity and density.

Displayed viscosity value = Viscosity × Density ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ [1] While the displayed value has a unit of mPa⋅s, it indicates the product of viscosity and density.

Example (1) When a sample has an absolute value of viscosity of 2.00 mPa⋅s and density of 1.000: Displayed value = 2.00 [mPa⋅s] × 1.000

= 2.00 [mPa⋅s]

(2) When a sample has an absolute value of viscosity of 2.00 mPa⋅s and density of 0.800: Displayed value = 2.00 [mPa⋅s] × 0.800

= 1.60 [mPa⋅s]

Note

The density can be measured, using the density determination kit, AD-1653 in combination with a balance.

To obtain the absolute viscosity value precisely, do as follows:

4-4-1 At Measurement

Divide the displayed viscosity value by the sample density to obtain the absolute value of viscosity.

Example (1) Measure the sample and confirm the displayed viscosity value. Here, 736 mPa⋅s as an example.

(2) Check the sample density at the temperature when the sample is measured.

Here, 0.856

(3) Divide the displayed viscosity value by the sample density to obtain the absolute value

of viscosity. Here, 860 mPa⋅s is obtained as the absolute viscosity value.

Absolute value of viscosity =

as an example.

Displayed viscosity value

Sample density

= ≅ 860 mPa⋅s

0.856

4-4-2 At Calibration

When calibrating, enter the product of the absolute viscosity value and the density of the standard viscosity fluid used for calibration, as a correction value.

The standard viscosity fluid has the calculation sheet of kinetic viscosity and viscosity at various temperatures attached. To obtain the correction value using this sheet, do as follows:

Kinetic viscosity = From this, Density = ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ [2]

Correction value = Viscosity × Density ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ [3]

When substituting [2] for the density in [3], the following equation is obtained.

Correction value = ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ [4]

Example 1: To calibrate the viscometer using a standard viscosity fluid:

Using the calculation sheet, calculate the value used for calibration.

(2) Substitute the values above into equation [4].

781 mPa⋅s is obtained as a correction value used for calibration.

(3) After calibration, measure the viscosity of the standard viscosity fluid used and confirm

that the viscometer displays the similar value as the correction value, 781 mPa⋅s in this example. This completes the calibration procedure.

Example 2: To calibrate using a standard viscosity fluid with known values of viscosity and density.

In this example, a standard viscosity fluid with a viscosity of 889 mPa⋅s at 20°C is used.

(1) Check the viscosity value and the density of the standard viscosity fluid at the

temperature when the calibration is performed..

Here, 889 mPa⋅s for the viscosity and 0.878 for the density at 20°C as an example.

(2) Substitute the values above into equation [3].

889 × 0.878 ≅ 781 781 mPa⋅s is obtained as a correction value used for calibration.

(3) After calibration, measure the viscosity of the standard viscosity fluid used and confirm

that the viscometer displays the similar value as the correction value, 781 mPa⋅s in this example. This completes the calibration procedure.

5. MEASUREMENT

5-1 Preparing the Sample

1 Pour the sample into the cup until its surface

reaches between the level gauges. The level

gauges indicate 35 and 45 mL.

2 Attach the cup on the table along the guides.

3 Confirm that the protector is in the position as

shown in the figure.

Raise the lever to release the sensor unit.

4 Pinch the grips, support the front side of the

sensor unit and gently lower the sensor plates

above the sample surface.

5 Lower the lever to secure the sensor unit.

6 Turn the knob on the table so as

to adjust the sample surface to the

center of the narrow part of the

sensor plates. At this time, use the

surface locator plate as a guide.

The surface locator plate has

been secured in position so that

the tip of the surface locator plate

comes into contact with the

sample surface.

Note

• Be sure to adjust the sample surface to the

center of the narrow part of the sensor plates. Otherwise, a measurement error may occur.

• The surface locator plate can be attached or

removed by loosening the screw.

• Before removing the sensor protective

cover, remove the surface locator plate.

• When the surface locator plate was

removed and attached again, it is recommended that calibration be performed using the standard viscosity fluid before measurement.

SV-10

SV-100

Note

Use the protector in the position as shown on the left below. If the protector is not used with the SV-10, a measurement error may occur, especially in measuring a viscosity over 5000 mPa⋅s.

When the position of the sensor plates in the liquid is not at the same level, level the viscometer using the leveling feet so that the liquid surface will be leveled.

5-2 Basic Measurement Procedure

1 With the power turned off, press the ON:OFF

key.

When the display is in the standby mode, press

the START key. *1

After about 15 seconds, the measurement

values are displayed.

2 During measurement, press the

HOLD key as necessary, to freeze

the display temporarily.

To release the data hold mode,

press the HOLD key again. *2

3 Press the STOP key to stop

the measurement. The

measurement results freeze

and are displayed.

The below is an example of the SV-10 at shipment. For the SV-100, the unit at shipment is Pa⋅s

4 To stop the measurement,

press the STOP key.

To go on to the next

measurement, set the sample

and press the START key.

When the viscosity value is below the measuring range, Sl TOP is displayed.

When the viscosity value exceeds the measuring range, SH TOP is displayed.

If the sensor plates are not in vibrating motion for about 20 seconds, for example, when

the sample coagulates, the measurement will stop automatically.

∗1 When the graphing program RsVisco is used, press the START button on the RsVisco to

start a measurement.

∗2 While the measurement is being performed using the graphing program RsVisco or data

are being output continuously (function setting "prt 2" or SIR command), the data hold

mode using the HOLD key is not available.

5-3 Changing Units

The units of viscosity available are: mPa⋅s (millipascal second), Pa⋅s (Pascal second),

cP (Centipoise),

P (Poise). The correlation of the units are as follows: 1 mPa⋅s = 0.001 Pa⋅s = 1 cP =0.01 P

The units of temperature available are: °C (Celsius) and °F (Fahrenheit).

The unit selected upon power-on depends on the function setting. The unit selected at the factory before shipment is as shown below.

Note

While the measurement is being performed using the graphing program RsVisco, unit changes using the MODE key is not available.

With the function setting "fnc 1", pressing the MODE key during measurement will display the measurement elapsed time.

6. VISCOSITY CALIBRATION

 Viscosity calibration is to correct the viscosity value.

 Two calibration methods are available: one-point calibration and two-point calibration, using

standard viscosity fluids.

With the SV-10, simplified calibration using purified water is available.

 It is recommended that calibration be performed using a fluid with a known viscosity value

which is close to the sample viscosity. When the measuring range is great, perform two-point calibration. Two-point calibration requires two standard viscosity fluids (high viscosity and low viscosity) that are appropriate for the measuring range.

 With the SV-10, when measuring the viscosity near 1 mPa⋅s, simplified calibration using

purified water, which is a one-key operation, is available. The SV-10 has a built-in function to perform an automatic temperature compensation on the viscosity value, based on the temperature of the purified water used.

 In one-point and two-point calibration, the viscosity of a fluid with a known value, such as a

standard viscosity fluid, is measured, displayed, corrected digitally and saved in memory.

 To obtain the absolute viscosity value precisely, use the correction value as described in

"4-4-2 At Calibration".

 If the wrong calibration data such as a correction value have been entered, the viscometer

condition can be restored. For details, refer to "Initialization (Clr)" of the function setting.

6-1 Notes on Viscosity Calibration

 Pay close attention to the liquid temperature at calibration. Be sure to enter the viscosity

value of the liquid temperature at calibration. Even a standard viscosity fluid has a viscosity change of -2%/°C to -10%/°C, and purified water, a viscosity change of -2%/°C, when the room temperature changes.

 The temperature of the standard viscosity fluid must be the same as the temperature of the

sensor plates and the temperature sensor. Allow the displayed temperature to stabilize before calibration.

 Be sure to adjust the sample surface to the center of the narrow part of the sensor plates.

Otherwise, a measurement error may occur.

 In the calibration mode, the unit of viscosity for the SV-10 is mPa⋅s, for the SV-100, Pa⋅s.

The unit of temperature is fixed to °C.

 The viscometer has been calibrated with the protector attached when shipped. Please note

that the value, obtained when the viscometer is calibrated without the protector, may be different from that upon shipment.

 If water other than purified water (such as tap water) is used for simplified calibration, or the

water temperature is different from the ambient temperature, bubbles may accumulate on the sensor plates and cause a measurement error. Allow the sample to adjust to the ambient temperature and remove any accumulated bubbles before calibration.

 If the measured viscosity of the water is 3.00 mPa⋅s or greater, it is contaminated and

simplified calibration can not be performed using it. Replace the water.

6-2 Calibration Procedure

Note

As to the correction value used for one-point calibration and two-point calibration, enter the product of the absolute viscosity value and the density of the standard viscosity fluid. For details, refer to "4-4-2 At Calibration". After calibration, check the values, comparing the product described above with the displayed value.

Used with the graphing program RsVisco. Measurement data are output in comma separated format.

When a comma is selected as the decimal point by "pnt 1", a semicolon ";" is used as a data separator.

When a measurement is started using RsVisco, the viscometer automatically selects this format.

Measurement data are output in the order of viscosity, viscosity unit, temperature and temperature

unit.

The output data are 25 characters long excluding the terminator

With RsVisco format selected, the viscosity value and the temperature are output using the internal resolution.

The relation between the measuring unit and the internal resolution is as follows:

12. TROUBLESHOOTING

The viscometer is a precision instrument. When the measuring environment or the measurement

method is inadequate, correct values can not be obtained. If measurement values do not become

stable or they seem to be incorrect, check as described below. If improper performance persists after

checking, contact the local A&D dealer for repair.

When measurement values do not become stable:

 Is the ambient environment free from vibration and drafts?

 Places such as second or higher floor or near busy highways or rail lines are prone to

vibration. Avoid these places or use an anti-vibration table, AD-1685.

 Reconsider the setting of "Condition (Cond) ” of the function setting.

Set it to "Cond 2".

 Avoid direct drafts in the vicinity of the viscometer.

 Is there a strong electrical or magnetic noise source such as a motor near the viscometer?

 Install the viscometer away from the electrical or magnetic noise sources.

 Is the protector or the sensor protective cover in contact with the sensor plates or the

temperature sensor?

 Attach the protector and the sensor protective cover properly so that they do not touch

the sensor plates or the temperature sensor.

 Remove the protector, the surface locator plate or the sensor protective cover when

necessary.

How to remove the protector

Press the left and right side frames lightly in the direction indicated as 1 to remove the

rotational axis. Pull the protector in the direction indicated as 2 to remove.

How to remove and attach the surface locator plate

Removing

Loosen the screw and remove the surface

locator plate from the temperature sensor.

Attaching

Install the surface locator plate as

shown in the illustration. Slip the locator

plate onto the temperature sensor.

Move the plate to the top of the sensor.

Adjust the position of the locator

plate so that the tip of the locator

plate aligns to the center of the

narrow part of the sensor plates.

Tighten the screw.

Note When the sensor plate and the surface locator plate are too close, a measurement

error may occur due to the liquid surface tension. Therefore, secure a clearance of at least 1 mm between the sensor plate and the surface locator plate. Maintain the clearance by rotating the surface locator plate when necessary.

How to remove the sensor protective cover

(Sensor unit side view)

Remove the protector and the surface locator plate.

Pull the sensor protective cover in the direction indicated as 1 to release the portions A

(two) and B from the protector frame.

Pull the sensor protective cover in the direction indicated as 2 to remove.

Note When removing the sensor protective cover, it may touch the sensor plates and the

temperature sensor. Use much care not to damage them.

When measurement values are not correct:

 Has the sample surface been adjusted to the center of the narrow part of the sensor plates?

 Adjust the table height by turning the knob so that the center of the narrow part of the

sensor plates is on the sample surface.

 Are the positions of the left and right sensor plates in the sample surface the same?

 If not the same, level the viscometer using the leveling feet so that the liquid surface will

be leveled.

 Are the sensor plates clean?

 Remove any residual sample material from the sensor plates using alcohol.

 When any residual sample material is on the portion of the sensor plates above the

sample surface, changes in the mass cause the vibration frequency to shift, which will

result in a measurement error.

 Are the sensor plates bent?

 If bent, contact the local A&D dealer for repair.

 Does the sample generate bubbles because of the differences in the sample temperature and

the ambient temperature and do the bubbles accumulate on the sensor plates?

 The sample viscosity depends on the temperature.

 Generally, the viscosity of a liquid is temperature dependent and changes by negative 2

to negative 10 percent, per degree Celsius.

 Is the sample surface lowered?

 In a measurement that takes a long time, evaporation may cause the sample surface to

be lowered. Maintain the sample surface level.

 Do the main unit and the display unit have the same serial number?

 The main unit and the display unit have been adjusted in pairs. Confirm that the main

unit and the display unit have the same serial number.

 Is the viscometer in the data hold mode?

 To release the data hold mode,

press the HOLD key.

 The processing indicator blinks

while a measurement is performed.

 Is calibration performed?

 When the absolute viscosity value is important, it is recommend that a periodic

calibration be performed using a standard viscosity fluid.

When more precise measurement is required:

 When the viscometer is installed for the first time or is moved to another location, plug in the

AC adapter and warm up the viscometer for one hour or more, to acclimatize the viscometer to the measuring environment. And before measurement, calibrate the viscometer using the sample cup that will be used for measurement.

 Placing the sensor plates and the temperature sensor in the sample may change the sample

temperature. For precise measurement, leave the sample as is for a while, after placing the sensor plates and the temperature sensor, to ensure no changes to the sample temperature. And then, start a measurement.

 When the sensor plates and the temperature sensor are cleaned using alcohol, the plates and

the sensor are cooled temporarily and their temperature is lowered. Allow the plates and the sensor to acclimatize to the measuring environment before measurement.

When the temperature values are not correct:

 Is the display unit connected to the main unit properly using the connection cable?

 Refer to "2-2 Installing the Viscometer" on page 7 to make a connection between the

display unit and the main unit.

When water viscosity is to be measured:

 When tap water is poured into the sample cup directly and is measured, bubbles are

generated on the sensor plates due to the difference in pressure and temperature and the viscosity may increase gradually. Pressurized tap water generates bubbles easily. Therefore, use distilled or purified water that is not pressurized.

 In a measurement that takes a long time, the sample viscosity may increase due to water

contamination. Perform a periodic check on water quality.

13. ERROR DISPLAY

Error display Description

Above measuring range error The viscosity value exceeds the upper limit of the viscosity measuring range (SV-10: 11.99 Pa⋅s, SV-100: 119.9 Pa⋅s). The viscosity of the sample can not be measured.

This error may occur when the display unit is not connected to the main unit.

Below measuring range error The viscosity value is below the lower limit of the viscosity measuring range (SV-10: 0.30 mPa⋅s, SV-100: 0.90 Pa⋅s) The viscosity of the sample can not be measured.

This error may occur when the display unit is not connected to the main unit.

The power supply for the internal clock is depleted. Press any key to enter the clock correction mode. Setting the clock enables the viscometer to be used temporarily. If the error occurs frequently, contact the local A&D dealer for repair.

Internal IC error Turn the power off. Then, turn the power on again. If this does not release the error, contact the local A&D dealer for repair.

AX-SV-36 Positioning Stopper

• Used to fix the position of the sensor unit and the

sensor plates so that positioning the sensor plates and the sample surface is not required each time a measurement is performed in a repetitive test. See below for how to attach the positioning stopper.

How to attach the positioning stopper:

1 Raise the lever so that the sensor unit

can be moved.

2 While pinching the grips, lift out the

sensor unit from above.

3 While pinching the grips on the

positioning stopper, attach the stopper, with the lever on the left side as seen from front, on the supportintg post. Be sure to place the guide located on the inner wall of the stopper in the guide channels located on the supporting post.

4 Position the stopper at an appropriate

height. Raise the lever to secure the stopper.

5 While pinching the grips, attach the

sensor unit on the supporting post.

AX-SV-37 Water Jacket Assembly

• Used, in combination with a commercially available

constant temperature bath for heating medium circulation, to maintain the sample temperature constant or to measure the viscosity while changing the sample temperature.

• The glass sample cup sold separately can also be

used.

• The AX-SV-37 consists of :

Water jacket 1 pc

(Main body: Polycarbonate, Packing: Silicone rubber, Washer: Nylon)

Small sample cup 4 pcs

(Polycarbonate, Operating temperature: 120°C max.)

Small sample cup cover 4 pcs

(Polycarbonate, Operating temperature: 120°C max.)

Screw 1 pc

(Screw: Polyacetal, Washer: Nylon)

• Specifications Circulation nozzle: Outside diameter 10.5 mm Recommended hose: Silicone tube, inside diameter 8 mm

• It is recommended that, for safety, a commercially available tubing clamp (clamping size: 11 to

20 mm) be used to fasten the tube securely to the nozzle.

• When using the water jacket, make sure that no inner pressure is exerted in the water jacket

due to the kinked or blocked tubes, as that could exert the pressure in the water jacket, causing it to break.

• When a stirrer is attached at the bottom of the water jacket, the sample viscosity can be

measured while the sample is being stirred. The maximum viscosity value which can be measured is 1000 mPa⋅s. (Only for SV-10)

Stirrer: VARIOMAG MICRO manufactured by H+P Labortechnik AG

Use a rotator with a size of 6 mm (length) x 4 mm (diameter).
