It is identical with ISO 3105 : 1994, prepared by Technical Committee 28, Petroleum products and lubricants, of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ‘This British Standard supersedes BS 2000 : Part 71 : 1990, which is withdrawn. BS 2000 comprises a series of test methods for petroleum and its products that are published by the Institute of Petroleum (IP) and have been accorded the status of a British Standard. Each method should be read in conjunction with the preliminary pages of ‘IP Standard methods for analysis and testing of petroleum and related products’ which gives details of the BSI/IP agreement for publication of the series, provides general information on safety precautions, sampling and other matters, and lists the methods published as Parts of BS 2000. ‘The numbering of the Parts of BS 2000 follows that of the corresponding methods published in ‘IP Standard methods for analysis and testing of petroleum and related products’. Under the terms of the agreement between BSI and the Institute of Petroleum, the revised version of BS 2000 : Section 71.2 will be published by the IP (in ‘Standard methods for analysis and testing of petroleum and related products’ and as a separate publication). ISO 3105 was not published in time for insertion in the 1995 edition of ‘Standard methods for analysis and testing of petroleum and related products’. A proof copy of ISO 3105 was inserted as an interim measure with the intention to replace this with the published version in 1996, However, as far as we ‘are aware, there were no changes made to the proof copy of ISO 3105 before publication, and therefore BS 2000 : Section 71.2 : 1995 is thus identical with IP 71 Section 2/95. Part 71 is divided into two sections as follows: Section 71.1 Petroleum products - Transparent and opaque liquids - Determination of kinematic viscosity and calculation of dynamic viscosity (ISO 3104 : 1994) Section 71.2 Specifications and operating instructions for glass capillary kinematic viscometers (ISO 3105 : 1994) Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. ‘The following BSI references relate tothe work ofthis standard Commie reference PTU13 Draft for comment H8/52056 DCINTERNATIONAL STANDARD © ISO ISO 3105:1994(E) Glass capillary kinematic viscometers — Specifications and operating instructions WARNING — The use of this International Standard may involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment.

The types of viscometers described are modified Ostwald viscometers (annex Al, suspended-level vis~ cometers (annex B) and reverse-flow viscometers (annex C). Other viscometers of the glass capillary type which are capable of measuring kinematic vis cosity within the limits of precision given in ISO 3104 may be used. 2 Normative reference The following standard contains provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard.

Symbols for viscometer parts Letters are used to designate specific parts of each viscometer described in the annexes. These letters are also used in the text of this International Standard when reference to the viscometers is given. The more frequently used letters on the figures in the annexes are as follows: A Lower reservoir 8 Suspended level bulb Cand J Timing bulbs D Upper reservoir €, F and Timing marks Filling marks, k Overtiow tube Mounting tube Lower vent tube L M N Upper vent tube P Connecting tube R Working capillaryISO 3105:1994(E) Is and 4 Viscometer mater manufacture 4.1. Fully annealed, low-expansion borosilicate glass shall be used for the construction of all viscometers. The size number, serial number and manufacturer's designation shall be permanently marked on each viscometer. All timing marks shall be etched and filled with an opaque colour, or otherwise made a perma- nent part of the viscometer. 4.2 With the exception of the FitzSimons and Atlantic viscometers, all viscometers shall be de- signed to fit through a 51. mm hole in the lid of a constant-temperature bath having a liquid depth of at least 280 mm; it is assumed that the surface of the bath liquid will be not more than 45 mm from the top of the bath lid. NOTE 1 For certain constant-temperature baths, es: pecially at low or high temperatures, it may be necessary to construct the viscometers with the uppermost tubes longer than shown in the annexes to ensure adequate im- ‘mersion in the constant-temperature bath. Viscometers so ‘modified can be used to measure kinematic viscosity within the precision of the test method. The lengths of tubes and bulbs shown in the figures should be maintained within + 10% or + 10 mm, whichever is less, such that the cal- bration constant of the viscometer does not vary by more than + 15 % from the nominal value, 5 Viscometer holder and alignment All viscometers which have the upper meniscus di- rectly above the lower meniscus (Cannon-Fenske routine in annex A and all viscometers in annex 8) shall be mounted in @ constant-temperature bath with tube L held within 1° of the vertical, as observed with a plumb bob or other equally accurate inspection means. NOTE 2 A number of commercially available holders are ‘so designed that the tube L is held perpendicular to the lid fof @ constant-temperature bath; nevertheless, the vis- Ccometer should be tested with a plumb line in order to en- sute that the tube L is in a vertical position, ‘Those viscometers whose upper meniscus is offset from directly above the lower meniscus (all other vis- cometers in annex A and all viscometers in annex C) shall be mounted in a constant-temperature bath with tube L held within 0,3" of the vertical NOTE 3 Round metal tops, designed to fit above a 51 mm hole in the lid of the bath, are frequently cemented fon to Zeitfuchs, Zeitfuchs cross-arm and Lantz-Zeitfuchs viscometers which then are permanently mounted on the lid of the bath. Also a rectangular’ metal top, iso 25mm x 59mm, is often cemented on to Zeitfuchs cross-arm and Zeitfuchs viscometers. Viscometers fitted with metal tops should be set vertically in the constant- temperature bath with the aid of a plumb line. In each figure, the numbers which follow the tube designation indicate the outside tube diameter, in millimetres. It is important to maintain these diam- eters and the designated spacing to ensure that holders will be interchangeable. 6 Calibration of viscometers 6.1 Procedures Calibrate the kinematic glass capillary viscometers covered by this International Standard using the pro- cedures specified in annexes A to C. 6.2 Reference viscometers 62.1 Select a clear petroleum oil, free from solid Particles and possessing Newtonian flow character- istics, with a kinematic viscosity within the range of both the reference viscometer and the viscometer to be calibrated. The minimum flow time shall be greater than that specified in the appropriate table of the an- nex in both the reference viscometer and the vis- cometer which is to be calibrated in order that the kinetic energy correction (see 7.1) may be less than 0.2%, 6.2.2 Select a calibrated viscometer of known vis- cometer constant C, NOTE 4 This viscometer may be a reference viscometer (driving head at least 400 mm) that has been calibrated by the step-up procedure using viscometers of successively larger chameters, starting with distiled water as the basic kinematic viscosity standard, o a routine viscometer of the Same type that has been calibrated by comparison with a reference viscometer. The calibration of the reference viscometer should only be carried out by 2 reputable laboratory meeting the require- ments of, for example, ISO Guide 25 Mount the calibrated viscometer together with the viscometer to be calibrated in the same bath and de- termine the flow times of the petroleum oil in ac- cordance with ISO 3104, 6.2.3 Calculate the viscometer constant C, as fok lows: C= (yx Gh a where© Iso C, is the constant of the viscometer being calibrated; 1, is the flow time, to the nearest 0,1 s, in the viscometer being calibrated; Cz is the constant of the calibrated vi cometer; f is the flow time, to the nearest 0,1 s, in the calibrated viscometer. 6.2.4 Repeat 6.2.1 to 6.2.3 with a second cil whose flow times are at least 50 % longer than the first oil If the two values of C, differ by less than 0,2 % for those viscometers listed in annexes A and 8 and less than 0,3 % for those viscometers listed in annex C, use the average as the viscometer constant for the viscometer being calibrated. If the constants differ by more than this value, repeat the procedure, taking care to examine all possible sources of errors. 6.2.5 The calibration constant, C, is dependent upon ‘the gravitational acceleration at the place of calibration and this must, therefore, be supplied by the stan- dardization laboratory, together with the instrument constant. Where the acceleration of gravity, g, differs by more than 0,1 %, correct the calibration constant as follows: ISO 3105:1994(E) C= (s2lai)C, (2) where the subscripts 1 and 2 indicate respectively the standardization laboratory and the testing laboratory, 63 Viscosity reference standards Kinematic viscosity reference standards" are available having the approximate kinematic viscosity shown in table 1. Certified kinematic viscosity values are estab- lished by cooperative tests and are supplied with each delivery. 6.3.1 Select from table 1 a viscosity reference stan- dard with a kinematic viscosity at the calibration ter perature within the kinematic viscosity range of the viscometer to be calibrated and a minimum flow time ‘greater than that specified in the appropriate table of the annex. Determine the flow time, to the nearest, 0,1 5, in accordance with ISO 3104, and calculate the viscometer constant, C, as follows: Cav @ where ¥ is the kinematic viscosity, in millimetres squared per second, for the reference standard liquid 1 is the flow time, in seconds.

These reference liquids cover the range of all viscometers described in this International Standard,1SO 3105:1994(E) 632 Repeat with a second reference standard whose flow times are at least 50 % longer than the first reference standard. If the two values of C differ by less than 0,2 % for those viscometers listed in a exes A and B and less than 0,3 % for those vis- cometers listed in annex C, use the average as the viscometer constant for the viscometer being cali brated. If the constants differ by more than this value, Tepeat the procedure, taking care to examine all possible sources of errors. 6.4 Expression of viscometer constant Report the viscometer constant, C, to the nearest 0,1 % of the determined value. This generally means four significant figures from 1 x 10” to 6,999 x 10% and three significant figures from 7x10" to 9,99 x 10%. 7 Kinematic viscosity calculation 7.1. Basic formula In principle, the calculation of kinematic viscosity is related to the dimensions of the viscometer according to the Hagen-Poiseuille law as follows: v= (10%xgD*HY128VL) — Be? @ where ¥ is the kinematic viscosity, in millimetres ‘squared per second; & is the acceleration due to gravity, in metres per second squared; D__ is the diameter of the capillary, in metres; is the length of the capillary, in metres; His the average distance between the upper and lower menisci (average driving head), in metres; Vis the timed volume of liquids passing through the capillary, in metres cubed (ap- proximately the volume of the timing bulb); E is the kinetic energy factor, in square millimetre seconds; 1 is the flow time, in seconds. If the viscometer 1s selected so that the minimum flow time shown in the tables of annexes A to C is exceeded, the kinetic energy term, E/1”, becomes in- significant and equation (4) may be simplified by ©1so grouping the nonvariable terms into a constant, C, as follows: Cc 6) 7.2. Kinetic energy correction The viscometers described in the annexes A to C are designed such that the kinetic energy correction term, EI, is negligible ifthe flow time is more than 200 s. in the case of several sizes of viscometers for the measurement of low kinematic viscosity liquids, a minimum flow time greater than 200 s is required in order that the kinetic energy correction term, E/t?, shall be negligible. The minimum flow times required are given in footnotes to the appropriate tables of viscometer dimensions in the annexes A to C. For viscometers whose constants C are 0,01 mm?/s? or less, the kinetic energy correction may be signifi- cant if the minimum 200 s flow time is not observed, 7.3. Maximum flow time A limit of 1000s has been set arbitrarily for con- venience as the recommended maximum flow time for the viscometers covered by this Intemational Standard. Longer flow times may be used, 7.4 Surface tension correction if the two menisci have different average diameters during the flow time and if the surface tension of the sample differs substantially from the calibrating liquid, 2 surface tension correction is necessary.

Subscripts ¢ and t relate to values obtained with ‘the calibrating liquid and the test portion, respect- ively While this correction applies to all viscometers, a number of viscometers are designed to minimize the surface tension correction. The greatest correction normally encountered is with a viscometer calibrated with water and used for oils. Generally, viscometers are calibrated and used with hydrocarbons whose surface tensions are close enough for these cor- rections to be insignificant. 7.5 Effect of temperature 7.5.1. The viscometer constant, C, is independent of ‘temperature for all those viscometers which have the volume of sample adjusted at bath temperature and for all suspended-level viscometers. 7.5.2 The following viscometers, which have a fixed volume charged at ambient temperature, have @ vis- cometer constant, C, which varies with temperature: Cannon-Fenske routine, Pinkevitch, Cannon-Manning semimicro, Cannon-Fenske opaque. 7.5.2.1 The following equation can be used to cal- culate the viscometer constant at temperatures other than the calibration temperature for the Cannon- Fenske routine, Pinkevitch and Cannon-Manning semimicro viscometer: ISO 3105:1994(E) Cy=Cy{1 + [4 000V(p, ~ p3)II(nD*HP2)} 7) where C, is the constant of the viscometer when filled and calibrated at the same tempera- ture; Vis the volume of charge, in miliitres; Dis the average diameter of the meniscus in the lower reservoir for the Cannon-Fenske routine, Pinkevitch and Cannon-Manning semimicro viscometers, and in the upper reservoir of the Cannon-Fenske opaque viscometer, in milimetres; His the average length of the driving head, in millimetres; py isthe density of the test liquid at the filing temperature, in kilograms per litre [kgntm? x 1073; 2 is the density of the test liquid at the test temperature, in kilograms per litte Eglin? x 10-9) 7.5.2.2 The temperature dependence of C for the Cannon-Fenske opaque (reverse-flow) viscometer is given as follows: 1{1 ~ [4 00OV(p, ~ px)3/(RD*Hp2)} (8) &ISO 3105:1994(E) e1so Annex A (normative) Modified Ostwald viscometers A.1 General with emphasis on procedures that are specific to this The following viscometers of the modified Ostwald type for transparent liquids follow the basic design of the Ostwald viscometer, but are modified to ensure @ constant volume test portion in the viscometer as described in A.1.1 and A.1.2. These viscometers are used for the measurement of kinematic viscosities of transparent Newtonian liquids up to 20 000 mm’s, For the modified Ostwald viscometers, detailed drawings, size designations, nominal constants, kinematic viscosity ranges, capillary diameters and bulb volumes for each viscometer are shown in fig ures A110 A7, A.1.1 Viscometers having constant volume at filling temperature: — Cannon-Fenske routine viscometer — Cannon-Manning semimicro viscometer — Pinkevitch viscometer A.1.2 Viscometers having constant volume at test temperature: — Zeitfuchs viscometer — SIL viscometer — BS|U-tube viscometer — BS/U-tube miniature viscometer strut A2 Operating ns A standard operating procedure applicable to all glass capillary kinematic viscometers is contained in ISO 3104. Operating instructions for the modified Ostwald viscometers are outlined in A.2.1 to A2.6 group of viscometers. A2.1 Select a clean, dry calibrated viscometer which will give a flow-time greater than 200 s or the minimum shown in the appropriate table of dimen- sions, whichever is greater. A.2.2. Charge the viscometer in the manner dictated by the design of the instrument, the operation being in conformity with that employed when the instru- ment was calibrated. If the sample is thought to con- tain fibres or solid particles, filter through a 75 um, screen during charging. 22.1 To charge the CannonFenske routine, Cannon-Manning semimicro and Pinkevitch vis- cometer, invert the viscometer and apply suction to tube L (the Pinkevitch viscometer has @ side arm O to which vacuum is applied, with the finger on tube L. being used to control the liquid flow) with tube N immersed in the liquid sample. Draw the sample to timing mark F for the Cannon-Fenske routine and Pinkevitch viscometers and to filing mark G for the Cannon-Manning semimicro viscometer. Mount the viscometer upright in the constant-temperature bath, keeping tube L vertical A222 Mount the Zeitfuchs viscometer in the constanttemperature bath, keeping tube L vertical Pour the sample through tube L to filling mark G. AF low 15 min for the sample to attain bath temperature ‘and become free of air bubbles, Attach the vacuum line with stopcock and trap to tube K. Slowly draw the sample into timing bulb C by partially opening the stopcock in the vacuum line and partially closing tube N with the finger. Allow the excess liquid to flow into bulb D and through tube K into the trap in the vacuum line. When the liquid in tube L reaches a point 2 mm to 5 mm above filing mark H, hold it at this point by alternately closing and opening tube N to the atmos: phere with the finger for the appropriate time given in table A.1 to permit the sample to drain from the walls of tube L© 1S0 Table A.1 — Drainage time for various kinematic viscosity ranges in the Zeitfuchs viscometer ar ee Drainage time sample, » mms s veto 10 0.20 10< ¥< 100 40 10 60 100< v< 1.000 100 to 120 1.000 < v 180 to 200 ‘Adjust the working volume by drawing the meniscus at the bottom of the column of the liquid exactly to filling mark H, making sure that the sample com- pletely fils the viscometer between mark H and the tip of the overflow in bulb D; after this final adjust- ment of the working volume, remove the finger and close or remove the connection to the vacuum source. The final adjustment may be more con veniently made by disconnecting the vacuum and ap- plying pressure to the mounting tube L by use of a rubber bulb. 2.2.3 Charge the SIL viscometer by tilting it about 30° from the vertical, with bulb A below capillary R. Introduce enough of the sample into tube L for bulb ‘A to fill completely and overflow into the gallery. Re- turn the viscometer to the vertical position and mount it in the constant-temperature bath so that tube L is vertical, The quantity of sample charged should be such that the level in the lower reservoir is 3 mm to 14mm above opening S. The sample will rise in capillary R somewhat higher than opening S. After the temperature equilibrium has been reached, remove ‘any excess sample from the gallery by suction applied to tube K. A224 Mount the BS|U-tube or BS/U/M miniature viscometer in the constant-temperature bath, keeping tube L vertical. Using a long pipette to minimize any wetting of tube L above filing mark G, fill bulb A with 2 slight excess of the sample. After allowing the sample to attain the bath temperature, adjust the vol 1SO 3105:1994(E) ume of the sample to bring the liquid level within 0.2 mm of filing mark G by withdrawing the sample with a pipette. A2.3. Allow the charged viscometer to remain in the bath long enough to reach the test temperature. Because this time will vary for different instruments, {or different temperatures and for different kinematic, viscosities, establish a safe equilibrium time by trial (30 min should be sufficient except for the highest kinematic viscosities). One bath is often used to ac- commodate several viscometers. Never add or with draw a viscometer while any other viscometer is in use for measuring a flow time. A2.4 Use vacuum (or pressure if the sample con- tains volatile constituents) to draw the sample through bulb C to approximately 5 mm above upper timing mark E. Release the vacuum, and allow the sample to flow by gravity. 25 Measure, to the nearest 0,15, the time re- quired for the leading edge of the meniscus to pass from timing mark E to timing mark F. If this flow time is less than the minimum flow time specified for the viscometer, select a viscometer with a smaller diam- eter capillary and repeat steps A.2.2 through A.25. A2.6 Repeat steps A24 and A25, making a duplicate measurement of flow time. the two measurements agree within the determinabilty given in ISO 3104 for the petroleum product being meas ured, use the average for calculating the kinematic, viscosity. A.2.7 Clean the viscometer thoroughly by several finsings with an appropriate solvent completely miscible with the sample, followed by rinsing with a completely volatile solvent. Dry the viscometer by passing a slow stream of fitered, dry air through the viscometer for 2 min, or until the last trace of solvent is removed. The use of alkaline cleaning solutions is not recommended, as changes in the viscometer calibration may occur.1SO 3105:1994(E) ©1so Dimensions in milimetres For tolerances on lengths, see 4.2 2 0 NOTE — For size 25 only, the capillary N extends straight through bulbs D and C to about 10 mm below bulb C:; the timing mark F encircles this capillary, Figure A.1 — Cannon-Fenske routine viscometere1so ISO 3105:1994(E) ble A.2 — Cannon-Fenske routine — Dimensions and kinematic viscosity ranges eeris, —| Kinematic. | ise dameter | ofiwtest ead | Bu volume ; iscometer | viscosity range | of tube R i Size No. (mm?s)is, mm/s mm (+ 2%) mm (+ 2%) Le) o jc 2 0.002 05102 030 2.61030 ai | 16 50 0,008 oBt04 oa 2.61030 aif aa 75 0.008 16t08 oss 261032 aa | 3 100 ars 31015 06s 281036 aa fat 150 0.035 71035 078 2.81038 ai | aa 200 oa 2010 100, 101 281036 a1 | aa 300 025 50 t0 250, 127 2.81036 a1 | oan 350 os 100 to 500 182 3.01038 ee 400 12 240 to 1 200 192 301038 aa | aa 450 28 500 to 2 600 2:35 351042 aa} 3a 500 8 1 600 to 8 000 320 3.71042 aa fat 600 20 4.000 to 20 000 420 441050 aa_| 3a 1250 5 minimum flow time: 200 s minimum flow time for al other sizes.ISO 3105:1994(E) 10 350 Lew K-6 NT ¥ 2 i i s Round hotaer t 0-8 s int. 2mm € * Rectangutar holder co F R 6 P - Figure A.2 — Zeitfuchs viscometer ©1so Dimensions in milimetres For tolerances on lengths, see 4.2©1so ISO 3105:1994(E) Table A.3 — Zeitfuchs — Dimensions and kinematic viscosity ranges Nominal Inside diameter a Kinematic | Inside diameter | oftubes p.E and | Volume of bulb Size No. eemtant, | iseosity range! of tube R ee c (oom? sys mils mm (+ 2%) mm mi (25%) 1 0.003 06103 042 38 1042 3.0 2 oor 21010 089 38 1042 40 3 0.03 61030 078 3,8 10.4.2 40 4 on 20 t0 100 116 3,8 10.4.2 50 5 os 60 to 300 154 3.81042 50 6 10 200 to 1 000 2.08 3,810.42 50 7 30 600 to 3 000 276 3810.42 50 1) 200 s minimum flow time for all sizes "ISO 3105:1994(E) ©lso Dimensions in millimetres For tolerances on lengths, see 4.2 Ske Ator 20 Size Gang 25 1% Figure A.3 — BS/U-tube viscometer 2©1so ISO 3105:1994(E) Table A.4 — BS/U-tube — Dimensions and kinematic viscosity ranges ; Outside Nominal | Kinematic / Inside | outside diameter of || Volume | yvers®el, | diameter viscometer| viscosity | diameter best cruuing | sistance F | Cries Size | constant range of tube R. toc | Aire No. ans 2 2 mm mm mi re mms mm mm (mm?/syis c 2%) | LendP N as%) A 0,003 0.921103 0.50 8109 6107 50 area | 211023 8 001 2.010 10 on 8109 6107 50 erz4 | 211023 c 0.03, 61030 088 8109 6107 50 era | 211023 ° on 20 to 100 1.40 91010 | 708 100 714 | 251027 E 03 60 to 300 2,00 91010 | 708 10.0 7344 | 251027 F 10 200101000 | 2.50 91010 | 708 100 7044 | 26t027 6 30 00t03000 | 400 | 10t011 | 91010 200 6043 | 321095 2.000 to H 10.0 ono 610 | 1t011 | 91010 200 so+3 | 321035 1), Use 1 mm to 1,25 mm wall tubing for N, P and L. 2) 300 5 minimum flow time; 200 s minimum flow time for all other sizes.

The distinctive feature of suspendeddevel viscometers is that the liquid is sus- ended in the capillary which it fills completely. This suspension ensures a uniform driving head of liquid, independent of the quantity of sample charged into the viscometer, making the viscometer constant in- dependent of temperature. By making the diameter of the lower meniscus approximately equal to the av- erage diameter of the upper meniscus, the surface tension correction is greatly reduced. Suspendedtevel viscometers are used for the measurement of kinematic viscosities of transparent, Newtonian liq: ids up to 100 000 mm’js. For the suspended-levelviscometers, detailed drawings, size designations, nominal viscometer con- stants, kinematic viscosity ranges, capillary diameters and bulb volumes for each viscometer are shown in figures B.1 to B.9. B.2 Operating instructions A standard operating procedure, applicable to all glass capillary kinematic viscometers, is contained in ISO 3104. Operating instructions for the suspended- level types are outlined in B.2.1 to B.2.6 with empha- sis on procedures that are specific to this group of viscometers. B.2.1 Select a clean, dry calibrated viscometer which will give a flow time greater than 200 s or the minimum shown in the appropriate table of dimen- sions, whichever is greater. B.2.2_ Charge the viscometer in the manner dictated by the design of the instrument, this operation being in conformity with that employed when the instru- ment was calibrated. If the sample is thought to con- tain fibres or solid particles, filter through a 75 um screen during charging. Ubbelohde viscometers by tilting the instrument about 30° from the vertical and pouring sufficient sample through tube L into bulb A so that when the viscometer is returned to the vertical the meniscus is between fill marks G and H, and tube P completely fills without entrapping air. Mount the viscometer in the constant-temperature bath, keeping tube L verti- cal. To facilitate charging very viscous liquids, the vis- cometer may be inverted with tube L placed in the sample. Apply vacuum to tube N, closing tube M by a finger or rubber stopper: draw sufficient sample into tube L such that after wiping L clean and placing the viscometer in the constant-temperature bath, bulb A will fill as described above. The Cannon-Ubbelohde semimicro design omits marks G and H, since this viscometer is designed both for semimicro and di- lution use; pour sufficient sample through L into bulb A to ensure that capillary R and bulb C can be filled as described in B.2.4, B222 Charge the BS/IP/SL. _BSJIP/SLIS), BS/IP/MSL and FitzSimons viscometers through tube Lwith sufficient sample to fill bulb A, but not bulb 8 The viscometer may be mounted vertically in the constant-temperature bath either prior to or following charging of the sample into the viscometer. B.2.2.3 Permanently mount the Atlantic viscometer in the constant-temperature bath with the enlarge- ment S resting on the top-split collar, and the lower end of capillary tube R 25 mm from the bottom of the bath. Pour the sample into a clean 50-ml beaker. Charge the viscometer by positioning the beaker and sample under tube L so that it will be immersed in the sample. Slowly apply vacuum to tube N by turning the three-way stopcock O to vacuum. Draw the sample into the viscometer filling capillary R, timing bulb C, and partially filling upper bulb D. Close stopcock ©. holding the sample in the viscometer. If only a small sample is available, a short length of rubber-tipped glass tubing can be placed in the beaker with the rubber against the bottom of capillary tube R, and the sample drawn up as above.e1so B.2.3 Allow the charged viscometer to remain in the bath long enough to reach the test temperature. Because this time will vary for different instruments, for different temperatures and for different kinematic viscosities, establish a safe equilibrium time by trial (80 min should be sufficient except for the highest kinematic viscosities). One bath is often used to ac ‘commodate several viscometers. Never add or with- draw a viscometer while any other viscometer is in use for measuring a flow time, B.2.4 Except for the Atlantic viscometer which al ready has the sample in position, close tube M with the finger and use vacuum (or pressure, if the sample Contains volatile constituents) to draw the sample slowly through bulb C to about 8 mm above upper timing mark E. Release vacuum from tube N and im- mediately place a finger from tube M to tube N, holding the meniscus above timing mark E until the lower meniscus has dropped below the end of capillary Rin bulb B. Release finger and allow the sample to flow by gravity, 1SO 3105:1994(E) B.2.5 Measure, to the nearest 0,1 s, the time re- quired for the leading edge of the meniscus to pass from timing mark E to timing mark F. If this flow time is less than 200s, select a smaller capillary vis- cometer and repeat 8.2.2 through 8.2.5. B.2.6 Repeat steps B.24 and 8.2.5, making a duplicate measurement of flow time. If the two measurements agree within the determinability given in ISO 3104 for the petroleum product being meas- ured, use the average for calculating the kinematic viscosity. B.2.7 Clean the viscometer thoroughly by several rinsings with an appropriate solvent completely, miscible with the sample, followed by rinsing with a completely volatile solvent. Dry the viscometer by passing @ slow stream of filtered, dry air through the viscometer for 2 min, of until the last trace of solvent is removed. The use of alkaline cleaning solutions is not recommended, as changes in the viscometer calibration may occur.ISO 3105:1994(E) e1so Dimensions in milimetres For tolerances on lengths, see 4.2 wn (126 tor sizes 6A and) M7 Nor (extends t0F for sizes 6A and S) 24e1so ISO 3105:1994(E) Table B.1 — BS/IP/SL — Dimensions and kinematic viscosity ranges Nominal se di , : Inside diameter | inside ciameter size no, | “szemeter oftubeR | oftubes Eana p | Volume of bulb © (mm?jsys mm (+ 2%) mi (45%) (mm) 1 a1 351010 oe 56 2eta2 18 003 61020 ose 56 neta 2 at 200100 115 56 281032 ~ os 60 to 300 151 56 281032 3 10 200 t0 1 000 208 56 371043 a 30 600 to 3 000 278 56 491054 4 10 2.000 1 10000 370 56 461054 a 20 6 000 © 30 on0 497 56 561064 5 100 20 000 to 100 000 676 56 681075 11350 minum tow time; 200 minum ow tne for al other sizes. 25ISO 3105:1994(E) e1so Dimensions in milimetres For tolerances on lengths, see 4.2 255, oext.17 oent.33 Figure B.2 — BS/IP/SL(S) viscometer©1so ISO 3105:1994(E) Table B.2 — BS/IP/SL(S) — Dimensions and kinematic viscosity ranges stecometar | kinematic | gamena ot | Yolmect | amen ot | clametr of SizeNo. | ‘constant | Vseosity range ‘tube R C33 tube N tube at E (eom?ysys mm?is mm (+2%) | mi(+5%) mm mm 1 0,000 8 1,05 0 min 0.36 56 281032 3 2 0,003 2.121103 0.49, 56 281032 3 3 0.01 38910 10 0.66 56 281032 3 4 0,03, 61030 087 56 281032 3 5 oa 20 t0 100 118 56 281032 3 6 03 60 to 300 1,55 56 281032 3 7 10 200 to 1 000 2,10 56 2,810.32 4 8 30 {600 to 3 000 2.76 56 2.81032 5 8 10.0 2.000 to 10 000 3,80 56 281032 5 1). 1320s minimum flow time. 2) 600 s minimum flow time. 3)_ 380 s minimum flow time; 200 s minimum flow time for all other sizes 21SO 3105:1994(E) ©1so Dimensions in millmetres For tolerances on lengths, see 4.2 int. 24025 I rte al |} 1 |_— osm Pe ty 7] ate mid it. 1-2ctearance Figure B.3 — BS/IP/MSL viscometer©1S0 1SO 3105:1994(E) Table B.3 — BS/IP/MSL — Dimensions and kinematic viscosity ranges Nominal Inside diameter viscometer Kinematic | | Inside diameter | Volume of bulb | of tubes Nand Size No. "constant. _ | Wiseosity range’ of tube R 5 (enr?)sys mms mm (+ 2%) mil (+ 5 %) mm 1 0,003 06 103 035 12 4106 2 001 21010 045 12 4106 3 0.03 610.30 62 12 4106 4 on 20 to 100, ogi 12 4106 5 03 60 to 300, 1.10 42 4106 6 10 200 to 1.000 1.45 12 4106 7 30 600 to 3 000 1.98 12 4106 1) 200 minimum flow time for all sizes.ISO 3105:1994(E) e1so Dimensions in millimetres For tolerances on lengths, see 4.2 10 2a 0 as 2 20 Figure B.4 — Ubbelohde viscometer 30eso ISO 3105:1994(E) Table B.4 — Ubbelohde — Dimensions and kinematic viscosity ranges Nomina!

Unlike the modified Ostwald and suspendedevel viscometers, the sample of liquid flows into a timing bulb not previously wetted by the sample, thus allowing the timing of liquids whose thin films are opaque. Reverse-flow viscometers are used for the measurement of kinematic viscosities of opaque and transparent liquids of | up to 300 000 mm*js. For the reverse-flow viscometers, detailed drawings, size designations, nominal viscometer constants, kinematic viscosity ranges, capillary diameters and bulb volumes for each viscometer are shown in fig- ures C.1 to C.4, €.2 Operating instructions ‘A standard operating procedure applicable to all glass capillary kinematic viscometers is contained in 1S 3104. Operating instructions for the reverse-flow viscometers are outlined in C.2.1 to C.2.6 with em phasis on procedures that are specific to a particular, instrument or this group of instruments. 2.1 Select a clean, dry calibrated viscometer which will give a flow time greater than 200 s and a kinetic energy correction of less than 0,2 %. €.2.2._ Charge the viscometer in the manner dictated by the design of the instrument, this operation being in conformity with that employed when the instru- ment was calibrated. if the sample is thought to con- tain fibres or solid particles, filter through a 75 um screen during charging €.2.2.1 To charge the Cannon-Fenske opaque vis- cometer, invert the viscometer and apply suction to the tube L, immersing tube N in the liquid sample. Draw liquid through tube N, filing bulb D to filling mark G. Wipe any excess sample off tube N and in- vert the viscometer to its normal position. Mount the viscometer in the constant-temperature bath, keeping tube L vertical. Close tube N with a rubber stopper or a short length of rubber tube with a screw clamp. €.2.2.2 Mount the Zeitfuchs cross-arm viscometer in the constant-temperature bath, keeping tube N vertical. Introduce the sample through tube N, taking care not to wet the sides of tube N, into the cross-arm until the leading edge stands within 0,5 mm of fil mark G on the siphon tube. €.2.2.3 Mount the LantzZeitfuchs viscometer in the constanttemperature bath, keeping tube N vertical Introduce sufficient sample through tube N to com- pletely fill bulb D, overflowing slightly into overtiow tube K. If the sample is poured at a temperature above the test temperature, wait 15min for the sample in the viscometer to attain bath temperature and add more sample to overflow slightly into tube K. €.2.2.4 Mount the BS/IP/RF viscometer in the constant-temperature bath, keeping the straight por- tion of the capillary tube R vertical, by using a plumb- line observed in two directions at right angles, or as stated in the certificate of calibration Allow the viscometer to reach the bath temperature and then pour sufficient of the filtered test sample into the filing tube N to a point just below the filling mark G, avoiding wetting the glass above G. Allow the liquid to flow through the capillary tube R, taking care that the liquid column remains unbroken, until it reaches a position about 5 mm below the filing mark H and arrest its flow at this point by closing the timing tube L with a rubber stopper. Itis desirable that the rubber stopper is fitted with @ glass tube and stopcock so that one can apply a controllable, very slight excess pressure to tube L. Add more liquid to the filling tube N to bring the oil surface to just below mark G. Allow the sample to reach the bath temperature and air bubbles to rise to the surface (at least 30 min is required). Gently manipulate the stopcock or stopper closing tube L until the level of the liquid is arrested at mark H. The uppermost ring of contact of the sample withe©1so the glass should coincide with the bottom of mark H. ‘Add sample to tube N until the uppermost ring of its contact with tube N coincides with the bottom of mark G. €.2.3 Allow the charged viscometer to remain in the bath long enough to reach the test temperature. Because this time will vary for different instruments, for different temperatures and for different kinematic, viscosities, establish a safe equilibrium time by trial (30 min should be sufficient except for the highest kinematic viscosities). One bath is often used to ac- commodate several viscometers. Never add or with- draw a viscometer while any other viscometer is in Use for measuring a flow time. ©.2.4 For the Cannon-Fenske opaque and BS/IP/RF viscometers, remove the stopper in tubes N and L, respectively, and allow the sample to flow by gravity. For the Zeitfuchs cross-arm viscometer, apply slight vacuum to tube M (or pressure to tube N) to cause the meniscus to move over the siphon tube, and about 30 mm below the level of tube D in capillary R; gravity flow is thus initiated. For the Lantz-Zeitfuchs viscometer, apply slight vacuum to tube M (or press- ure tube N with tube K closed) until the lower meniscus is opposite the lower timing mark E; allow the sample to flow by gravity. ISO 3105:1994(E) €.2.5 Measure to the nearest 0,15 the time re- Quired for the uppermost ring of sample contact with the glass to rise from the bottom of timing mark E to the bottom of timing mark F. The lower filing rmark H, if applicable, must not be confused with the lower timing mark E. If the flow time is less than the mini- mum specified for the viscometer, select a clean, dry viscometer with a smaller diameter capillary and re~ peat steps C.2.1 to C.25. €.2.6 Using this viscometer after a thorough clean- ing and drying, or a second clean and dry viscometer, repeat steps C.2.2 to C.2.5, making a duplicate de- termination of the kinematic viscosity. If the two de- terminations agree within the determinabilty given in ISO 3104 for the petroleum product being measured, report the average of the calculated kinematic vis- ccosities. Note that the precision of the viscometers in annex C is slightly poorer than those in annexes A and B. See 6.3.2 €.2.7. Clean the viscometer thoroughly by several rinsings with an appropriate solvent completely miscible with the sample, followed by a completely volatile solvent. Dry the viscometer by passing a slow stream of filtered, dry air through the viscometer for 2 min, or until the last trace of solvent is removed. The use of alkaline cleaning solutions is not rec- ommended, as changes in viscometer calibration may occur.ISO 3105:1994(E) ©1so Dimensions in milimetres For tolerances on lengths, see 4.2 Figure C.1 — Cannon-Fenske opaque viscometer©1so ISO 3105:1994(E) Table C.1 — Cannon-Fenske opaque — Dimensions and kinematic viscosity ranges Inside Nomina tnside | ciamatorof | Volume of viscomerer | Kinematic | aiametor of | tubeNand | bubsac | Volume ot SizeNo. | ‘constant ty range tubeR — | tubes E,Fand| and J 1 (enm?jsyis mm’js mm (+ 2%) mm (+ 5 %) mi (+ 5%) mi (+ 5 %) 7% one oat? ost 30 16 1" so o.o08 084 oaz 30 a 1 7 o.ooe 16108 ase 20 21 n 100 oars 31015 oss 32 21 n 150 0.35 71038 o78 32 2A n 20 oa 200 100 1.02 32 21 h 30 025 50 to 200 126 aa 2A n 2s0 os 100 to 600 148 aa 2a n 400 12 24001 200 1.88 aa 2A n 460 25 500 to 2500 2.20 a7 2a n so0 a e00%e000 | a0 40 2A n 00 20 | 4000%020000 | _400 a7 21 2 1200 minum How tne for al izesISO 3105:1994(E) ©1so Dimensions in milimetres For tolerances on lengths, see 4.2 20 “Noa Viscometer must fit through rectangular hole 23 mm x68 mm 305, bl Sizes 8 to.10 Figure C.2 — Zeitfuchs cross-arm viscomet 46©1so ISO 3105:1994(E) Table C.2 — Zeitfuchs cross-arm — inges Nominal erat Horizontal size no, | “Someta | viscosity range) | ameter of tube diameter (mm?/sys. mms mm (+ 2%) mm mi (+ 5%) mm (+ 5 %) 1 1003 O63 026 210 028 38 2 201 210 10 035 210 025 39 3 0.03 61030 047 210 025 39 4 0.10 2010 100 06s 210 025 a9 5 03 60 to 300 oe 210 025 a9 6 10 200 to 1 000 12 210 025 23 7 30 600 to 3 000 148 210 025 43 8 100 | 2000t0 10000 | 188 165 025 4a 9 300 | 6000t03000 | 2.40 165 025 43 10 100.0 | 20.000 100000] 2.95 165 028 43 1), 200 s minimum flow time for all sizes aISO 3105:1994(E) ©1so Dimensions in mitimetres For tolerances on lengths, see 4.2 a 4 6 5 |-t-— F t a a 4 € | 4 =a Capacity 4m _ Sizes 110 9 only Figure C.3 — BS/IP/RF U-tube reverse-flow viscometer©1SO ISO 3105:1994(E) Table C.3 — BS/IP/RF U-tube reverse-flow — Dimensions and kinematic viscosity ranges tominst | tinamatic | ge | Lengtnot | garttl®, » | Volume ot sicano, | “EMH | vacoenyrangen | ameter ot | NEI | diameter ate, | “our (mm? }s)is mm‘js mm (4 2%) mm mm mi (+ 5%) : 008 o6w3 ost we | sows | 40 2 act 2te10 on ws | aowsa | 40 a 03 bio%0 oss ws | sowsa | 40 4 01 200 100 128 1 | s0s3 | 40 5 oa bo 10 300 16 ws | sowss | 40 6 10 | moore | 228 ww | sos | 40 7 a0 | exor3000 | 283 ws | sswse | 40 8 10 | 2000110000 | 00 1 | eaves | 40 ° zo | ecos00 | 55 1 | cower | 40 ‘© 100 | 2000010100000] 770 210 270 40 n 200 | s0c0%0 300.000 | 1000 210 1000 40 1) 200 5 minimum tlow time forall sizes.ISO 3105:1994(E) ©1so Dimensions in rimetres For tolerances on lengths, see 4.2 8 Kos M7 cy | aw us asi i bifront elevation Figure C.4 — Lantz-Zeitfuchs type reverse-flow viscometer©1SO ISO 3105:1994(E) Table C.4 — Lantz-Zeitfuchs reverse-flow — Dimensions and kinematic viscosity ranges Nominal ic viseosit viscometer | Kinematic viscosity | Inside diameter | oun of tu er Size No. iscomete range irate n | Length of tube R | Volume of bulb C (com?jsy/s mms mm (+ 2%) mm mil (£5 %) 5 03 60 to 300 1.65 490 27 6 10 200 to 1.000 2.25 490 27 7 3.0 6600 to 3 000 3,00 490 27 8 10.0 2000 to 10.000 4.10 490 27 8 300 6 000 to 30 000 5.20 490 27 10 100,0 20 000 to 100 000 5.20 490 085 1) 200 s minimum flow time for all sizes 51£102 uoNMysu| spuepueIg USHA euL (9) ‘SLOZ/LO/ED Jo Se eUI09 UOISIEA ‘LSMMH ‘A1euq! @8y, neys 987 :Adoo pesuacr£102 uoNMysu| spuepueIg USHA euL (9) ‘SLOZ/LO/ED Jo Se eUI09 UOISIEA ‘LSMMH ‘A1euq! @8y, neys 987 :Adoo pesuacrBS 2000 Series IP@ ‘THE INSTITUTE OF PETROLEUM The Institute of Petroleum 61 New Cavendish Street London WIM 8AR Tel: 0171 467 7100 Fax: 171 255 1472 Buying Parts of BS 2000 Orders for BS 2000 publications should be addressed to the Library at the Institute of Petroleum.
