Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of low-temperature viscosity liquid calibration, and specifically to a calibration device and method for low-temperature viscosity liquid. Background Art

[0002] In the quantity transfer system of viscosity measurement, a viscometer and viscosity liquid are alternately used for transfer until the viscosity value of a sample is measured. The viscosity liquid plays a connecting role in the viscosity quantity transfer process.

[0003] The measurement of low-temperature viscosity mainly adopts the rotational method and the capillary method. Among them, the capillary viscometer, as an absolute viscometer, is recognized as the method with the highest accuracy in viscosity measurement. In the viscosity measurement quantity transfer system diagram, the national viscosity standard and national standard are both Ubbelohde capillary viscometers. The advantage of high accuracy of the capillary viscometer makes it not only an important means for sample viscosity measurement but also shoulders the heavy responsibility of quantity transfer. The standard capillary viscometer is larger in volume and higher in accuracy than the working capillary viscometer. When calibrating the viscosity liquid with the standard capillary viscometer under normal conditions, the viscosity liquid needs to be filled into the standard capillary viscometer, and the whole standard capillary viscometer needs to be kept at a constant temperature. The constant temperature equipment is a large-size transparent glass constant temperature bath, which is convenient for human eyes to observe and time. The temperature accuracy is ±0.01 °C, and the accuracy of the calibrated viscosity liquid is better than 0.8%.

[0004] Since the low-temperature viscosity measurement range is generally as low as -40 °C, and the operating temperature of aviation hydraulic oil is even as low as -70 °C, the transparent glass constant temperature bath under normal conditions is difficult to withstand such low temperatures. At the same time, most viscosity liquids are oil products, and their viscosity values are greatly affected by temperature, especially at low temperatures, the viscosity values change greatly with temperature. This type of technology is not suitable for calibrating low-temperature viscosity liquids.

[0005] The calibration of existing low-temperature viscosity liquids often uses a rotational viscometer or a working capillary viscometer. The reason is that the measuring head part and the rotor part of the former are independent. During measurement, only the rotor part needs to be precisely kept at a constant temperature, and there is no need to observe the state of the fluid to be measured. The latter can use a special double-layer glass constant temperature bath to achieve constant temperature and meet human eye observation at the same time. However, the accuracy of such equipment itself is greater than 0.8%, and the accuracy of the calibrated viscosity liquid is relatively low. The measurement accuracy of the rotational method principle is not as good as that of the capillary method, and the development and research for precise measurement are limited; the size of the standard capillary viscometer is too large, and only using double-layer glass technology, the constant temperature precision is limited. The design size and temperature control accuracy of the existing low-temperature capillary viscometer device are also difficult to apply to the standard capillary viscometer, which limits the calibration of low-temperature viscosity liquids.

[0006] During the calibration process of the capillary viscometer, the uncertainties mainly stem from: the accuracy of the selected capillary viscometer, the temperature control fluctuation, the uniformity of the viscosity liquid, the verticality of the capillary viscometer, and the timing. Therefore, using a standard capillary viscometer to calibrate the viscosity liquid will be beneficial to greatly improve the calibration accuracy of the viscosity liquid. The low-temperature constant-temperature equipment used for calibrating the viscosity liquid with a standard capillary viscometer should meet the requirements of a large size with a working area depth of not less than 80 cm, a temperature control accuracy of ±0.002 °C, be convenient for observation and timing, and at the same time be convenient for maintaining the verticality of the standard capillary viscometer during operation.

[0007] In addition, under low-temperature conditions, when the humidity of the atmospheric environment is relatively high, frost and fog will form around the supercooled wall surface of the viscometer exposed to the environment, causing pollution to the fluid to be measured and introducing errors during the calibration and measurement processes. For example, a large amount of frost forms at the contact position between the nozzle of the existing low-temperature capillary viscometer device and the liquid level of the refrigeration medium, which also limits the calibration accuracy of the low-temperature viscosity liquid.

[0008] During the calibration process of the low-temperature viscometer, the large uncertainty introduced by the inaccuracy of the calibration result of the low-temperature viscosity liquid is not conducive to the unification of the quantity value. The problem of accurately calibrating the low-temperature viscosity liquid has become an important bottleneck restricting the low-temperature viscosity metrology transfer.

[0009] Based on this, we propose a calibration device and method for low-temperature viscosity liquid, hoping to solve the deficiencies in the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0028] A method for determining the value of a low-temperature viscosity liquid, which is used for a device for determining the value of a low-temperature viscosity liquid, includes the following steps:

[0029] S01. Installation: Vertically install the cleaned standard capillary viscometer on the U-shaped frame, check the position of the standard capillary viscometer on the U-shaped frame. When the capillary fitting on the main pipe is parallel to the U-shaped frame, it can be considered that the position of the standard capillary viscometer is vertical. Connect the lifting table, the positioning frame and the U-shaped frame, and adjust the relative position with the tank body. Install a thermometer at the center of the disc part;

[0030] S02. Liquid filling: Use a syringe to add the viscosity liquid to be determined from the nozzle of the first branch pipe to the liquid storage bulb;

[0031] S03. Sealing: Connect the first air pipe to the first inert gas source, connect the second air pipe to the atmosphere, softly connect the first through pipe to the second branch pipe, softly connect the second through pipe to the main pipe. The outside of the first through pipe is connected to the second inert gas source through the first solenoid valve, and the second through pipe is connected to the vacuum pump through the second solenoid valve;

[0032] S04. Inert atmosphere: Open the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve, open the second inert gas source, so that the inert gas enters the second branch pipe. The inert gas will first flow out of the main pipe through the second solenoid valve to discharge the air inside the main pipe. After a period of time, close the second solenoid valve to seal the main pipe, and continue to pass the inert gas. The inert gas will enter the first branch pipe through the liquid inlet pipe to discharge the air inside the first branch pipe. Open the first inert gas source, gradually discharge the air inside the sealing cover. At this time, cut off the second inert gas source, close the first solenoid valve. After a period of time, the whole standard capillary viscometer is in an inert atmosphere;

Slowly suck the viscosity liquid to be measured from the liquid storage ball into the timing ball. Turn on the light source and observe through the observation window. When the viscosity liquid reaches the liquid level ball, cut off the vacuum pump;

[0035] Then, open the first solenoid valve to connect the second branch pipe to the atmosphere. At this time, the viscosity liquid inside the suspension ball quickly flows back to the liquid storage ball; the viscosity liquid inside the timing ball slowly flows down along the capillary fitting under the action of gravity; observe through the observation window, and use the timing device to record the time difference between the upper liquid level of the fluid flowing through the upper scale line and the lower scale line. Repeat the experiment six times and take the average time.
