SCOPE This method is used to determine the viscosity of the fluids by using a modified Ostwald viscometer and is in accordance with ASTM Standard Test D 445-65, Viscosity of Transparent and Opaque Liquids. Viscosity is determined by measuring the time of flow of a fixed volume of liquid at a given temperature through a calibrated glass capillary instrument using "gravity flow". EQUIPMENT a. Viscometers -- Calibrated glass capillary type, capable of measuring viscosity within repeatable limits. Viscometers such as CannonFenske Routine, Cannon-Manning Semi-Micro, and Cannon-Fenske Opaque in sizes 100, 150, 200 and 300 are recommended. Viscosity Range Size Centistokes ssu 100 3-12 36-66 150 7-28 49-133 200 20-80 98-370 300 50-200 230-930 These items available from Cannon Instrument Co., State College, Pennsylvania. b. Viscometer Holder or Frames -- Any suitable holder to suspend viscometer securely in constant temperature bath in same vertical position as when calibrated. c. Constant Temperature Bath -- Any transparent liquid bath of sufficient depth to cover within 2 cm the sample in the viscometer. Temperature control of the bath must be such to maintain 0.02F. between 60 and 212F over the length of the viscometer. d. Timer -- Any timing device graduated in divisions of not more than 0.2 seconds and having an accuracy of 0.05 percent. Note: Items a through c are available from Cannon Instrument Company in State College, Pennsylvania. 047U65 TOWOLDMONOQ32728 Safety The Pydraul and Therminol fluids are classified as mild skin and eye irritants. In the event of skin contact, wash with soap and water. In the event of eye contact, flush immediately with copious amounts of water and get prompt medical attention. Exercise caution to avoid possible thermal burns through contact with hot materials or equipment. Determination 1. Determine the viscosity of the sample using the following table to determine the proper tube size and bath temperatures: Product Therminol 44 Therminol 60 Therminol 55 Therminol 66 Temperature 100F/37.8C 100F/37.8C 100F/37.8C 100F/37.8C Tube Series 100 100 200 200 Note: Therminol fluids showing increased viscosity as result of decomposition may require next larger size viscometer. 2. Connect the large side of the tube, by means of a piece of rub ber tubing to a water aspirator (vacuum source) for cleaning. 3. Apply gentle suction by means of the aspirator. 4. Place the capillary arm of the tube in a beaker containing ca. 100 ml of filtered benzene and draw the solvent through the tube. 5. Repeat step 4 using ca. 100 ml of filtered acetone. 6. Dry the tube by drawing a gentle stream of dry air through it. Note: If the tube is not completely clean, it will be necessary to repeat Steps 4 and 6. 7. Insert the proper range thermometer in the bath. 8. Maintain the bath at the desired temperature 0.05F. Note: At temperatures of 100F or lower, it may be necessary to circulate cooling water through the coils to maintain the desired temperature. O'* TOWOLDMONOQ32729 9. To the large side arm of the viscometer tube, connect a piece of clean rubber tubing which is connected to the vacuum source. 10. Invert the viscometer tube and place the capillary side into a beaker containing the sample. The sample should be hot enough to be fluid. Note: If the material to be tested is not completely free of residue and suspended solids, it must be filtered. This can be done by placing a 1" x 6" test tube in a 600 ml suction flask. Insert a medium porosity (70 micron) Selas glass crucible into a rubber adapter. Place the adapter in the top of the suction flask with the glass tube extending into the test tube. Filter, by suction, enough of the sample to fill the test tube ca. % full. 11. Using a gentle suction, draw enough sample to fill both bulbs and into the capillary up to the mark etched on it. 12. Remove the vacuum tubing and return the tube to an upright position. Wipe the outside of the tube to remove any excess sample. 13. Fit the tube in the viscosity tube holder and immerse it in a constant temperature bath to such a level that the top bulb is completely immersed but allowing of the tube to protrude above the holder. Adjust the tube to a verticle position by visual inspection. 14. Allow the sample and viscometer tube to come to a temperature equilibrium with the bath. This will require a minimum of 10 minutes. 15. After the tube and sample have attained the bath temperature, draw the sample up to a point ca. 5 mm above the mark between the bulbs using a rubber bulb attached to the capillary arm. 16. Withdraw the rubber bulb and as the meniscus of the liquid passes the upper mark start the stop watch. 17. As the meniscus of the liquid passes the lower mark, stop the stop watch. 18. Record, to the nearest 0.2 second, the time required for the fluid to pass between the upper and lower marks. This is the efflux time. 19. Make a check determination by repeating steps 15 through 18. It is not necessary to refill the viscometer. Efflux times should agree with 0.2%. Calculation VK = Ct where VK = viscosity in centistokes at TF C tube constant at TF t = efflux time in seconds TF Determine VK to the nearest 0.05 centistokes.

Buffer Stock Solution A can be made or purchased as desired. Purchased solution available from Fisher Scientific or Micro Essential Laboratory (Brooklyn, New York). A pH 11 buffer is suggested. To make the buffer solution proceed as follows: Accurately weigh 27.8 + 0.1 g of m-nitrophenol and transfer to a 1-liter volumetric flask containing 100 ml. of isopropyl alcohol. Using a 250 ml. graduated cylinder, add to the flask while con tinuously stirring its contents, 50/Ni 1 ml. of 0.2 N alcoholic KOH solution (Ni being the exact normality of the KOH solution found by standardization). Dilute to the 100 ml. mark with iso- 04 ? Lit-'* TOWOLDMONOQ32732 propyl alcohol, and mix thoroughly. d. Potassium Chloride Electrolyte-- Prepare a saturated solution potassium chloride (KC1) in water. e. Potassium Hydroxide Solution, Standard Alcoholic (0.1N). Add 6 g of potassium hydroxide (KOH) to approximately 1 liter of anhydrous isopropyl alcohol. Boil gently for 10 min. to effect solution. Allow solution to stand for two days and then filter the supernatent liquid through a fine sintered -- glass funnel. Store the solution in chemically resistant bottle. Dispense in such a manner that the solution is protected from atmospheric carbon dioxide (C02) by means of a soda lime or soda asbestos guard tube, and such that it does not come into contact with cork, rubber, or sapon ified stop-cock grease. Standardize frequently enough to detect normality changes of 0.0005. f.

Titration solvent -- add 500 ml of toluene and 5 ml. of water to 495 ml. of anhydrous isopropyl alcohol. The titration solvent should be made up in large quantities, and its blank value deter mined daily by titration prior to use. Preparation oj Apparatus Use standard procedures for preparation and maintenance of electrode equipment. Procedure for Acid Number a. Into a 300 ml titration beaker, introduce a weighed quantity of Therminol or Pydraul of about 10 g 0.10 g, and add 125 ml of titration solvent. Make sure all surfaces of the electrode are wiped clean and wetted with electrolyte previous to titration. Place beaker on stand and adjust its position so that the electrodes are about half immersed. Start stirrer, and stir throughout titration at a rate sufficient to produce vigorous agitation without spattering or without stirring air into the solution. b. Fill buret with the 0.1 N alcoholic KOH solution and place the buret into the titrating assembly so that the tip is about 1 inch into the liquid. Record the initial buret and meter (cell potential) readings. Add suitable small portions of 0.1N alcoholic KOH solution and, after waiting until constant potential has been es tablished, record the buret and meter readings. In regions where 0.1 ml. of titration solution causes a change of 0.03 v (corresponding to 0.5 pH units), add 0.05 ml. portions. In regions where changes are less radical, add portions large enough to produce a change equal to, but not greater than 0.03 v. Titrate in this manner to an end-point of pH 11. c. Blank -- For each set of samples, make a blank titration of 125 ml. of titration solvent, adding 0.1N alcoholic KOH solution in 0.05 ml. increments to a meter of pH 11. 70 TOWOLDMONOQ32733 Calculations a. Note the volumes of the titrating solution for both sample and blank used to reach end-point of pH 11. b. Calculate the acid number as follows in mg KOH per g: (A-B) X N X 56.1 Acid Number W where: A - milliliters of alcoholic KOH solution used to titrate the sample to its end point, B = volume corresponding to A for the blank titration N = normality of the alcoholic KOH solution, and W = grams of sample. Note: A colorimetric method, ASTM D 974-64, can be used, however, dark colored fluids will sometimes interfere with the colorimetric end points.
