The Model 800 8-Speed Electronic Viscometer is designed and exclusively

manufactured by OFI Testing Equipment, Inc. It is extensively used worldwide

in both the eld and laboratory for the precise measurement of rheological

properties of uids.

The OFITE Model 800 Viscometer determines the ow characteristics of oils

and drilling uids in terms of shear rate and shear stress over various time

and temperature ranges at atmospheric pressure. Speeds are easily changed

with a control knob, and shear stress values are displayed on a lighted

magnied dial for ease of reading.

The viscometer’s motor RPM is continuously monitored and automatically

adjusted by the OFITE Pulse-Power electronic speed regulator to maintain

a constant shear rate under varying input power and drilling uid shear

conditions. The eight precisely regulated test speeds (shear rates in RPM)

are as follows: 3 (Gel), 6, 30, 60, 100, 200, 300, and 600. A higher stirring

speed is also provided. Speeds may be changed with a control knob

selection, without stopping the motor.

The Model 800 is suitable for both eld and laboratory use and uses a

motor-driven electronic package to provide drilling uid engineers with

an extremely accurate and versatile tool. The Model 800 operates from a

13–16 VDC power source. The electronic regulator continuously monitors

and automatically adjusts the rotational speed to maintain a constant shear

rate under varying uid shear conditions and input power variations that are

commonly found on-site.

What Bob & Spring Should I Use?

There is often confusion or misunderstanding about what a viscometer can

actually measure. For example, a viscometer with an R1 B1 F1 combination

can measure water fairly well at 100 RPM and higher, but at 3 RPM, the

readings would be shaky at best. While on the other hand, a linear uid with a

viscosity of 15,000, could not get past 6 RPM with the same combination.

To estimate which spring might be best, use the formula below to calculate a

Minimum Spring factor, where one establishes the maximum RPM the uid

is going to be tested at, as well as what the expected “Apparent Viscosity”

of the uid at that RPM. If the Factor comes out as .87, then an F 1.0 spring

should be used. If it comes out as .16, then an F 0.2 spring would be best. To

cover all ranges, it may be necessary to use more than one spring.

Minimum Spring Factor (F) = RPM(max) * AV(max)

Safety

Explanation of Symbols

Caution: Risk of Danger - This symbol directs the operator to consult the

instruction manual for safety related warnings. (ISO-7000-0434)

Whenever this symbol is used on the equipment, the user must

consult the manual to determine the nature of the hazard and any

actions which have to be taken.

Fuse: This is the internationally recognized symbol for a user-replaceable

fuse. This symbol will be followed by information required to guide the

user to choose the proper replacement fuse.

Direct Current (DC): This symbol indicates an input (or output) that is

direct current only. (IEC 60417-5013)

Note: This symbol will indicate important notes and helpful hints for the

operation of the equipment.

Polarity: This symbol indicates that the equipment receives positive

voltage on the center pin of the connector and the return voltage is on the

outer case.

Tip: This symbol is used to identify operational information and best

practices to obtain the most reliable data.

Caution: Note - This symbol is used to indicate statements in the manual

which warn against actions which may cause damage to the equipment

during routine service or maintenance

Electrical Requirements

The Model 800 Viscometer is to be powered by a DC power source. The

power supply for the #130-10 Model is capable of providing between 13

and 16 volts DC. The power supply for the #130-11 Model supplies 24 volts

DC. The equipment is current limited to 4 amps by a user-replaceable fuse.

However, we suggest that the power supply be current limited to less than 4

amps to provide additional protection to the equipment.

Disconnect Device

When connecting the equipment to your power source, make sure that the

13-16 VDC is connected to the center pin of the connector.

The equipment is supplied with a user-replaceable fuse. This fuse must only

be replaced by a 250-volt, 4-amp, time-delayed fuse.

Environmental Conditions

The equipment is designed for use in normal environmental conditions:

- Indoors

- At or below an altitude of 2,000 m (6,562 ft)

- In temperatures between 5° and 40°C (41°–104°F)

- With a maximum relative humidity of 80% for temperatures up to 31°C

(88°F) decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40°C (104°F)

- This equipment has not been rated according to IEC 60529

Installation

The Model 800 Viscometer should be used in a location where it will not be

subjected to excessive moisture. It should be placed on a at, stable surface

in a well-ventilated environment.
