2. The matching between the viscometer manufacturer’s rotor and the outer cylinder
For the dual-cylinder rotational viscometer, it is necessary to read the instrument manual carefully. Different rotors match different outer cylinders, otherwise the measurement results will deviate greatly. For a single-cylinder rotary viscometer, in principle, the outer cylinder radius is required to be infinite, and the actual measurement requires that the inner diameter of the outer cylinder, that is, the measuring container, is not less than a certain size.
3. Viscometer manufacturers require that the diameter of the beaker or straight container used for measurement is not less than 70mm. Experiments have proved that, especially when the No. 1 rotor is used, if the inner diameter of the container is too small, it will cause a large measurement error.
