Wash Cycle
1. Place the tip of the solvent bottle
along the opening of the glass
capillary in the sample/solvent port and gently squeeze until the cup is
filled with solvent to clean any oil residue that might be left over from
injecting the previous sample.
Be careful to consider bath temperature (s) and potential solvent
hazards when selecting solvents for use with the SimpleVIS ® Viscometer.
Observe appropriate safety precautions when handling solvents.
Note: Heptane (technical grade) is compatible with the
SimpleVIS ® Viscometer.
2. Press the Wash button on the display screen to start the wash cycle.
3. Wait for the solvent in the cup to be drawn down the tube.
4. Place the tip of the solvent bottle directly into the glass capillary for
approximately one second (no need to squeeze the bottle, the pump
will pull the solvent in) and then remove for several seconds to allow the
solvent to be drawn through the viscometer tube to the waste bottle. The
display screen will prompt the user when to inject and remove the solvent
bottle. Repeat this step until the display screen alerts the user to press the
Dry button to start the dry run cycle.
