Temperature of Testing8.1 All measurements with the Ford viscos
15、ity cups shall bemade at 25C (77F) or a temperature agreed upon betweenproducer and user. Temperature drift during the test should bekept to a minimum and should not exceed 60.2C (60.4F).NOTE 2 It is impossible to predict the effect of temperature change oneach material with which the apparatus may
16、be used. This factor may beless than 1 % per degree Celsius for some liquids whereas others may beas high as 8 to 10 % per degree Celsius.9. Calibration9.1 Cups should be calibrated in accordance with theprocedure described in Appendix X1. The frequency of thiscalibration check depends upon the amou
17、nt of use and the carethat the individual cup receives. If the cup varies more than10 % from standard, it should not be used.10. Conditioning10.1 Bring the material to a temperature a few degreesbelow that desired and then agitate vigorously for 10 min on areciprocating shaker in a pint can two-thir
18、ds full. Allow tostand undisturbed for 10 min while adjusting further to thedesired temperature. Make the viscosity determination at theend of the 10-min period.11. Procedure11.1 Make viscosity determinations in a room free of draftsand rapid changes in temperature. For the highest degree ofprecisio
19、n the room temperature should be between 22 and28C (72 and 82F). Determinations should be made at atemperature above the dew point of the atmosphere surround-ing the apparatus.11.2 Choose the proper cup so that the time of efflux will bebetween 20 and 100 s (preferably between 30 and 100 s) forcup N
20、os. 3, 4, and 5; between 55 and 100 s for cup No. 1; andbetween 40 and 100 s for cup No. 2 (Fig. 2).11.3 Level the instrument so that a cup may be filled levelfull without a meniscus or overflow at one side.11.4 Determine the time in seconds of efflux as follows:Close the orifice, for example, by ho
21、lding a rubber stopperagainst it. Fill the cup with the prepared specimen. Thepreferred method is to overfill the cup and scrape off the excesswith a straightedge. Pull the stopper away and simultaneouslystart the timing device. Measure the time until the first break inthe stream.11.5 Measure the te
22、mperature of the fluid in the effluxstream.11.6 If the cup has been established to be nonstandard whencalibrated as described in the Appendix, apply the percentdifference to the measured seconds to get the correctedviscosity in Ford-cup seconds.12. Care of Cup12.1 Following each determination, clean
23、 the cup by the useof a suitable solvent and a soft brush. Under no conditionsshould metal cleaning tools be brought into contact with theinstrument. Particular care must be exercised in cleaning theorifice to avoid any film deposit or nicks on the inside walls.13. Report13.1 Report the following in

Precision and Bias14.1 PrecisionOn the basis of an interlaboratory test ofthis test method in which eight cooperators from four differentlabo
26、ratories made measurements on five different paints, thewithin-laboratory coefficient of variation was found to be2.8 % with 35 df and the between-laboratory coefficient ofvariation was found to be 6.9 % with 30 df. Based on thesecoefficients, the following criteria should be used for judgingthe acc
27、eptability of results at the 95 % confidence level:14.1.1 RepeatabilityTwo results obtained by the sameoperator on different days should be considered suspect if theydiffer by more than 8 %.14.1.2 ReproducibilityTwo results obtained by operatorsin different laboratories should be considered suspect
28、if theydiffer by more than 20 %.14.2 BiasSince there is no accepted reference materialsuitable for determining bias for the procedure in this testmethod, bias cannot be determined.15.

29、 CupsX1.1 The orifice of the Ford cup is commonly made ofbrass or some other corrosion-resistant material which issubject to wear with use and cleaning. A small change indiameter of the orifice becomes significant in the resultsobtained with the use of this type of viscosity-measuringapparatus.X1.2
30、The viscosity standards3are available only as 1-ptsamples.X1.3 Select the appropriate liquid viscosity standard for thecup to be calibrated (see Table X1.1). Bring this cup and theliquid viscosity standard to a constant temperature as close aspossible to 25.0C (77.0F) or to the operating temperature
31、 ofthe cup. Determine the time of efflux to the nearest 0.2 s usingthe procedure detailed in Section 11. Keep the temperature driftto within 60.2C (60.4F). If the temperature is not 77F, theactual temperature must be noted and the viscosity of thestandard oil corrected to this temperature.X1.4 The f
32、ollowing formulas are used to convert the timeof flow in seconds, t, to kinematic viscosity V:V1= 0.49 (t 35.0)V2= 1.44 (t 18.0)V3= 2.31 (t 6.58)V4= 3.85 (t 4.49)V5= 12.1 (t 2.00)where V1, V2, V3, V4, and V5= kinematic viscosity usingorifice No. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively, cSt.X1.5 The differen
33、ce between the certified viscosity and thedetermined viscosity, multiplied by 100 and divided by thecertified viscosity, will give the percent variation of the cupfrom standard. A percent correction can be applied to theseconds flow when the cup is in normal use. If the cup variesmore than 10 % from
34、 standard, it is recommended that theorifice be replaced and that the cup be recalibrated.3Certified kinematic viscosity standards are available from the Cannon Instru-ment Co., P.O. Box 16, State College, Pa. 16801. For particular oils applicable foruse with the Ford Cups refer to Table X1.1. Oils
