MODEL 491 - HALLIKANINEN VISOMETER
Part No: ATAC491
 
The Model 491 Hallikaninen analyser, utilises special large bore capillaries, is suitable for use with highly vsicous, non newtonian samples, whose viscoity may be affected by shear rate.

The model 491 large bore viscometer is completely automatic process steam analyser and when used with a density measurement, correlation with ASTM D445 can be achieved
 
 
typical applications
Lube oil blending
Fuel oil bending
Lube oil dewaxing
Residual fuels
Distillate fuel product specification
 
 
principles of operation
The Model 421 analsyer measures differential pressure across a capillary through which a fluid is passed. The differential pressure is proportional to the absolute viscosity of the fluid as described by the hagan-poiseuille equation A precision pump meters the flow sample.

To ensure that the sample metered by the pump is at approximately the same temperature as the sample entering the capillary, two heat exchanges are fitted, one either side of the metering pump. Input pressure is set so that the metering pump suction pressure is always positive.

The sample flows at a constant rate through the capillary across which a differential pressure transmitter is connected.

The transmitter is isolated form the sample by diaphragm seals to prevent obstruction of the impulse lines. The output of this transmitter is the directly proportional to the absolute viscosity of the sample.

The critical components are maintained at a fixed temperature by immersion in an oil , the temperature, of which , is controlled by a precision, temperature controller, heater and when necessary, water cooling. The temperature is monitored by the relevant ASTM (IP)_thermometer.
