Container Dimensions
For yield point measurements the container dimensions are largely irrelevant. For
creep tests and strain or modulus measurements in constant rate tests the container
diameter does come into effect, especially with higher diameter ratios, and must
therefore be entered into the measuring system setup details in the Meas-Editor utility
program. For diameter ratios of less than 0.2 minor changes in the container size,
design or positioning can be more or less ignored for most applications.
Setting Up Vanes In Measuring System Editor
Before you can use a vane it’s details must be set up in Meas-Editor.
1. Open Meas-Editor
2. Click New
3. Enter the name of the vane (eg V80-40) and select Type
→
Vane.
4. Enter the factors K-Gamma and Tau_Prom that were supplied with the vane.
5. Enter the radius of the vane ( Radius i ) and the radius of the container
( Radius o ).
6. Click Save.
7. Repeat as necessary and close Meas-Editor.
