Checking Calibration and Calibrating

The Torque Standard may be stored in a preheat oven at a temperature

not exceeding 120 C (248 F). Preheating the torque standard reduces the
calibration warm up time.

WARNING
Always wear protective gloves for this procedure. The Rheometer's
dies, rotor and platen are hot.

Always store the Compression Torque Standard in a safe area to

cool unless you store it in a preheated oven.

If you expect to perform the torque standard calibration routine rather than
checking the calibration, select the Calibrate mode (Mode 2) before
proceeding.

1 Press the CALIBRATE key. If the displayed torque standard value

disagrees with the value for your torque standard, press the INCREMENT
or DECREMENT keys to enter the value for your torque standard from the
calibration certificate.

2 Press the SCROLL UP or SCROLL DOWN key until "Check Torque Cal?"
is displayed. Press SELECT. The message "Wait... Setting up" appears
followed by "Mount Torque Std".

3 Compress and hold in the compressed condition the spring loaded collar
of the torque standard.

4 Insert Compression Torque Standard and visually align and position the
Torque Standard concentric with the dies. The movable collar should be
toward the upper die.

5 Press the PLATEN key to close the shield and clamp the torque standard.
After the torque standard is clamped by the upper die, press SELECT.
The motor will start and the torque displayed.

If you wish to view the torque standard warm up time use the SCROLL
keys to display the elapsed "Warm up time". You may also view the die
temperatures using the SCROLL keys.

NOTE: The recommended warm up time is 20 minutes for this style

torque standard.

6 After the warm up time, view the displayed torque value. The displayed
value should match the certified value within ±1.0 dNm (±1.0 lbf in).

7 If the displayed value does not correspond with the quoted torque
standard value press the SCROLL keys until "Calibrate Torque?" is
displayed. Press SELECT. The message "Calibrating..." will be displayed.

8 After the calibration routine is completed, the message "Print certificate?"

will be displayed. Press SELECT to "Print Certificate", or press EXIT if
you do not require the certificate.

9 Press SCROLL keys until "Leave Torque Cal?" is displayed and press
SELECT. The display will read "Remove Torque Standard".

10 Press the PLATEN key to open the shield and unclamp the Torque
Standard. The display will read "Remove Torque Std".

11 Remove Torque Standard and place in a safe place to cool before

returning its case or return directly to the preheat oven.

12 Press SELECT.
