Capillary viscometry is the most precisemethod used to determine the kinematicviscosity of liquids with Newtonian flow behavior. For this reason, many proceduresuse the options of this method, unsur-passed in precision, at international,national, and plant operating levels. To fullyexploit these options, the instrumentsbeing used must meet high quality require-ments.

Which viscometers are available ?

The capillary viscometers most fre-quently used are the three-armed viscome-ters according to Ubbelohde and their variants. With this viscometer type, thesample volume must not be precisely cali-brated. The liquid volume reaching themeasuring point including the resultingaverage pressure head is automatically regulated by means of the suspended bulblevel which forms at the lower end of thecapillaries. Ubbelohde viscometers areavailable for all practical applications:

d for absolute and relative measurementsd for manual and automatic detection of

meniscus passaged for normal and opaque samplesd for manual and automatic rinsingd in macro and micro sizes.

The two-legged viscometers, e.g. theOstwald viscometers, continue to be usedin classic methods although the level of automation with applications of these types of viscometers is limited. In addition,there are a number of viscometer typesthat are only of specific importance in thefield of routine and research work in eachinstance.

Each calibrated viscometer has a con-secutive series number which is only awarded once by Schott. Accordingly, individual viscometers can be clearly identi-fied even after many years.

Technical characteristics of glass vis-cometers

Precision capillaries for viscometers made of borosilicate glass or other high-quality glass guarantee constant quality atthe highest level of international standards.

The capillaries are manufactured accord-ing to methods that guarantee a consistentinner diameter. The outlet of the capillariesis adapted in its geometric form to thetheoretical Hagenbach correction factor inaccordance with DIN standards.

The interaction of these technical glassproperties ensure uniform flow-through times which then form the basis for preciseresults.

Viscosity is a "classic" characteristicquantity for liquids. The result provided during application of capillary viscometry isthe kinematic viscosity which is measuredin the unit of mm2/s (formerly centistokes,cSt). Since viscosity is temperature-depen-dent, the measurement temperature mustbe correctly adhered to and mentioned inthe test results.

The absolute kinematic viscosity is cal-culated by means of simple multiplicationof the measured flow-through time in se-conds with the constant K valid for the vis-cometer. At the same time, it is importantto note that the constants for manual andfor automatic measurements are basicallydifferent. The ring marks and the constantK refer to manual measurements; for measurements with Schott measuringstands, a correction factor must be takeninto account. The flow-through time mustbe reduced by the Hagenbach correctionfactor. The Hagenbach correction factor,however, only achieves an amount worthmentioning with shorter flow-through timesand/or smaller constants.

The Micro-Ubbelohde viscometerswhich are being used more frequently in recent times have a particularly small Hagenbach correction factor which alsocomplies with the theoretical calculation inaccordance with DIN standards even forflow-through times of 10 s. From the abso-lute viscosity, classic data, such as theSUS (Saybolt Universal Viscosity), SF (Saybolt Furol Viscosity) and E (Engler Degree), for instance, can be calculated directly with an equation or with the help ofa calculation chart.

The relative kinematic viscosity is thequotient of the viscosities of a solution andthe pure solvent. This viscosity is extremelyimportant in the food industry and espe-cially for the evaluation of polymers. Fromthe time when Staudinger discovered therelationships between the average chainlength and the viscosity, polymers have been evaluated to an increasing extentwith the help of viscosity determination.From the relative viscosity, other character-istic quantities are derived mathematically,such as the specific viscosity and the inherent viscosity as well as the viscositynumber J and the K value.

The constant K for the determination ofthe absolute kinematic viscosity is deter-mined with extreme care by means ofcomparative measurements with normalviscometers whose constants were deter-mined at the Federal German Physical-Technical Institute (PTB). Accordingly, forUbbelohde viscometers of Type 501.. toconstant K = 10 mm2/s2 from the normalproduction, a maximum measuring uncer-tainty of 0.60 % related to national stand-ards is ensured. The measuring uncertaintycan be reduced further by means of a second calibration. This renewed measure-ment can be confirmed for Ubbelohde viscometers with a quality test certificate inaccordance with DIN 55 350 Part 18. Theconfidence level (probability level) for thisdata is 95 %.

– In practice, the repeating accuracy isthe most important criterion in most cases. As repeating accuracy, values of < 0.1 % can be achieved, provided thatthe influence quantities described beloware taken into account.

– The constancy of temperature of thethermostatic bath being used is, in addi-tion to the correctness of the constant,the most important influence quantity inthe field of viscometry. As a rule-of-thumb, a deviation of mT = 0.1 K results

in a measured value variation of 0.2...1%. Thermostats made by Schottof the type series CT 1650/. provide aconstancy of temperature of mT = 0.02... 0.05 K, depending on the temperatu-re range and fluctuations of ambientconditions. The required thermometersmust be capable of providing readingsof ± 0.01 K and must be officially cali-brated.

– Following the sample filling procedure,the tempering time must amount to atleast 15 minutes for manual measure-ments. For measurements with automa-tic viscosity measuring instruments,shorter times can be selected becausethe instruments ensure thorough mixingdue to constant pumping during thetempering period. The outlier test for automatic measurements makes it ea-sier to recognise whether or not the firstmeasured value of a series was alreadydetermined under correct temperatureconditions.

– The actual time measurement is per-formed with a stopwatch or with an automatic viscosity measuring instru-ment. Normally, the time measurementincludes a very small degree of mea-suring uncertainty. Regular inspection of the time measuring instruments, however, is absolutely required.

Recommendations for companies thathave introduced a quality assurance system in accordance with the standardsDIN EN ISO 9000 ff.

In this quality assurance system, an inspection of the measuring equipment isplanned. The intervals and required accu-racy can be defined by each company according to its own requirements. Thestandard DIN/ISO 100 12, Part 1 serves asa guideline in this matter.

We recommend regular inspection ofthe viscometers in defined intervals.

Inspection of viscometer constants

1. Calibration using comparative meas-urements with reference measuring stand-ards

Comparative measurements must beperformed with a viscometer (referencemeasuring standard) which was tested atthe PTB (Federal German Physical-Techni-cal Institute) and provided with a constant.During this comparative measurement, theviscometer to be inspected and the PTB-tested viscometer were placed simulta-neously in the same thermostatic bath. Thetest liquid tested, the viscosity of whichmust not be known exactly, is filled intoboth viscometers, tempered and the flow-through time then measured.

The constants of the viscometers to beinspected are then calculated according tothe equation (see below).

Within the quality assurance system inaccordance with DIN EN ISO 9000 ff., retraceability of the measuring equipmentto national measuring standards is deman-ded. This form of retraceability can beachieved by inspecting the comparativeviscometers (reference measuring stand-ards) at regular intervals at the PTB. The time intervals are defined according to thespecifications made in the quality assuran-ce system of the user.

2. Calibration of the capillary viscometerwith normal oils of the PTB

During this calibration, a normal oil fromthe PTB with known viscosity is used as areference measuring standard. The measu-rement is performed by means of flow-through measurement of the PTB normaloil in the viscometer to be inspected in atemperature bath, the temperature ofwhich must correspond precisely to thetest temperature of the PTB. In this case, itis extremely important to make sure thatthe temperature is absolutely correct. Incase of temperature variation, this will always result in a constant for the viscome-ter that deviates from the constant applied.A temperature variation of 0.01 K, for instance, will result in a measuring error ofup to 0.01%.

3. Inspection by Schott-Geräte withquality certificates in accordance withDIN 55 350 (Part 18, 4.2.2)

The inspection at Schott-Geräte is carried out by means of comparative mea-surements using viscometers as referencemeasuring standards that were tested atthe PTB (corresponds to Item 1).

Information on the stability of visco-meter constants

Each inspection (even with a certificate)can guarantee the technical measuring di-rection only for a limited period of time. Theconstants of viscometers made of theborosilicate glass DURAN®, however, canremain unchanged for long periods of timeif the viscometers are kept away from altered influences. Especially extreme

changes can be expected, for instance,during the use of liquids that attack glassor during glass-blowing repairs (even forapparently insignificant repairs).

Liquids whose components adhere tothe glass wall also cause errors. In suchcases, regular cleaning is required wherebythe corrosive action cleaning agent on theglass must be eliminated.

For this reason, we recommend that theuser should write up a special processinginstructions for all important measurementsand include them in his quality assurancemanual in accordance with DIN EN ISO9000 ff. In all cases the user is responsiblefor the correctness of his measuring andtesting equipment and is not released fromhis responsibility for quality (cp. DIN 55 350, Part 18).

Viscometers with suspended ball levelfor determination of absolute and relativekinematic viscosity of liquids with New-tonian flow behaviour. The measuring levels are marked by TC sensors. Themeniscus passage is detected due to thedifferent conductivity of the liquid phaseand the gas phase. A measurement standof the type series AVS/S is not required.

TC viscometers can be used to deter-mine the kinematic viscosity of all liquidswith Newtonian flow behaviour. They are

especially suitable for liquids that cannotbe detected with other systems: untrans-parent and/or black and/or electric con-ductive measuring samples.

TC viscometers are manufactured fromtechnical glass types with an expansioncoefficient of a = approx. 9 • 10–6 .

Due to the electric properties of TC sen-sors, it is important to make that a type isselected that is suitable for the required application temperature.

ments– emptying of viscometers without

removing them from the thermostaticbath

Since the materials used and the connec-tions of the ViscoPump VZ 5625 are madeof PTFE or stainless steel, the pump is suitable for use with aggressive mediums.

The range of use for semi-automatic pro-cessing of samples, e.g. with a viscositymeasuring instrument AVS 360 is possibleup to a viscosity of 30,000 mm2/s. For semi-automatic processing work, thePTFE hose combination with stand (see illustration) and the waste bottle, typeno. VZ 5624, are used.

Temperature stabilization jackets

In the absence of a see-through ther-mostat the temperature of capillary vis-cometers can be stabilized in this type ofjacket using circulation thermostats in thetemperature range 0 to 180°C. The shapeof the jacket and the number of holes in the support plate depend upon the type ofviscometer being used.

The support plate has been designed to facilitate changing the viscometer whenrequired. An additional hole is provided in the support plate so that a control ther-mometer can be fitted. A quick-action seal simplifies changing viscometers.

AVS measuring stands and hose sets

AVS measuring stands

– Measuring stands of the type seriesAVS/S can be used to measure theflow-through time in viscometers auto-matically.

– The measuring stands can be con-nected to all measuring instrumentsmade by SCHOTT for automatic measurement of viscosity and operatewith all standard viscometers for repe-titive measurements.

– Automatic measurements have the following advantages:– the repetitive standard deviation is

less than for manual measurements– the measurement is free from sub-

jective factors of influence– the results can be printed out and/or

be automatically documented on data memory system

– automatic processing of sample series is available.

– The use of different materials ensuresunproblematic adaptation to existingmeasurement temperatures and appli-cations.

– The measuring stands or brackets canbe exchanged at random. This is pro-vided by the precision applied duringproduction.

– The distance between the levels of theautomatic optoelectronic unloading system is 40.00 mm ± 0.03 mm. Whenmeasuring stands are replaced, this results in a standard deviation of VK =0.05% for Ubbelohde viscometers.

– For repetitive measurements with vis-cosity measuring instruments and Ubbelohde viscometers with measuringstands, the standard deviation VK =0.03%.

– Manually calibrated Ubbelohde visco-meters can also be used in AVS meas-uring stands. If the automatic sensing levels do not correspond to the ringmarks, the superimposed meniscus detection system will provide a higherconstant. The difference amounts to0.1% per millimetre of height offset.
