The rotating test head 2 has a membrane filter 6 with a specific pore size. Test fluid is set to a level 4a, the sample tube is fitted and sealed to the rotating test head and rotated 180{ so the the test fluid is uppermost. When activated an air compressor 3e runs to a set operating pressure, an operating valve 3j is opened pressurising the fluid sample through the filter, any contamination within the test fluid bigger than the pore size blocks the filter. The sample tubes are rotated 180{ and the test repeated with the filtered fluid. The fluid flow time sequence in conjunction with the temperature of the test fluid is processed by the calculation electronics to give viscosity and contamination evaluation.

Description

2356939 Portable Viscositv-Tester This invention relates to a portable
viscosity tester.
Viscosity testers are well known which comprise of diagnostic equipment whereby fluids are heated or cooled to known temperatures then poured or pressurised through specific sized orifices and the time, taken for set fluids amounts to vent through the special sized orifices are used to ascertain the flui&s viscosity rating.
Viscosity testers are however of a laboratory type nature where skilled operators require substantial time to carry out a viscosity test on pure fluid samples.
According to the present invention there is provided a portable viscosity tester comprising a preferably electronically controlled piece of diagnostic equipment whereby a rotatable test head mounted on a control casing has dual demountable sample tubes fitted to a rotating test head incorporating a known valve arrangement whereby pressurised air can be made available as required to pressurise the uppermost demountable sample tube whilst the lower demountable sample tube can be vented to the atmosphere through the rotating test head and vent conduit. The rotating test head has a membrane filter with a specific pore size preferably of a screen filter type like a kitchen sieve) which is totally reproducible.
The test fluid to be tested is placed in the lower of the demountable sample tubes to the set level mark, the demountable sample tube is then fitted to the rotating test head by known seals and locking mechanism. ne rotating test head is rotated 180 so the demountable sample tube with the test fluid is uppermost.
The Portable Viscosity Tester is then switched on and the start button activated an internal air compressor will run up to a set operating pressure controlled by the pressure sensor and control electronics. The disPlay then indicates "start", the operating valve is then opened pressurising the upper demountable sample tube, the resultant air pressure drop starts the fluid flow timing sequence. The test fluid in the in the upper demountable sample tube is pressurised through the membrane filter, any contamination within the test fluid bigger than the specific pore size of the membrane filter blocks the pores of the filter membrane, the greater the contamination the greater the blockage.
As the test fluid filtering through the membrane filter is replaced by air as the upper demountable sample tube empties of test fluid the electronic pressure sensor stops the fluid flow timing sequence as it senses a distinct drop in pressure as the pressurised air vents easily through the membrane filter into the lower demountable sample tube and out through the rotating test head and vent conduit.
2 The fluid flow time sequence in conjunction with the temperature of the test fluid monitored by the temperature sensor is processed by the calculation electronics using stored previous test results for known viscosity test fluids at differing fluid viscosities and temperatures to give a possible viscosity evaluation of the test fluid.
As the fluid flow timing sequence is stopped the operating valve doses and the demountable sample tubes vent to atmosphere through the vent conduit. Ihe control and calculation electronics reset after a set time and the display shows " rotate", meaning rotate the head 180 then the diplay shows "start".
Operating the start button switch once again operates the air compressor to the set operating pressure and the operating valve is opened pressurising the upper demountable sample tube containing the filtered test fluid, the resultant pressure drop, within the pressure conduit, starting the second fluid flow time sequence, the test fluid is pressurised. through the membrane filter purging the membrane filter of any contamination particles clogging its lower surface. As the filtered test fluid is replaced by air as the demountable sample tube empties of test fluid the electronic pressure sensor senses the resultant pressure drop and stops the flow 3 timing sequence and closes the operating valve, any residual air pressure within the dismountable sample tubes venting to atmosphere through the vent conduit.
The time taken by the filtered test fluid to filter through the specific pore size filter is processed by the calculation electronics in conjunction with the temperature recorded during the test sequence of the test fluid to show the viscosity of the test fluid.
Any time difFerence between the first raw and second filtered tests of the test fluid is used by the electronic calculation software in the calculation of the level of particle contamination within the test fluid. The results of the tests are displayed on the display till the Portable Viscosity Tester is switched ofF or the system reset.
The results can also be displayed in printed form or relayed electronically to another monitoring system.
The membrane fidter can be removed and replaced after cleaning or replaced by a disposable membrane filter.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: - 4 F!prel shows in perspective, the Portable Viscosity Tester with the demountable sample tubes fitted to the rotating test head.
Ejgure2 illustrates in schematic the Portable Viscosity Tester whereas the upper demountable sample tube (A) is filled with fluid and the preferable controls are shown in block diagram.
Figure 3 shows the rotating test head in perspective with the lower demountable sample tube (A) filled with test fluid separate from the rotating head.
Figure 3b shows the Portable Viscosity Tester in elevation with the lower demountable sample tube (A) scaled and locked onto the rotating test head to the upper position.
Figure 4 shows the rotating test head in section with the upper demountable sample tube (A) being pressurised whereas as its contained test fluid is pressurised through a membrane filter into a lower demountable sample tube (B) which is vented.
fture 5 shows the rotating test head with the filtered fluid in the upper demountable sample tube (B) being pressurised through the membrane filter into the lower demountable sample tube (A) and any filterable residue being flushed from the lower of the filter membrane.
Figure 5b shows, in elevation and section, the membrane filter separate from the rotating test.head.
Fjpre 5c shows the membrane filter in section with contamination on its surface blocking some of the specific set sized pores.
Referring to the drawings the Portable Viscosity Tester (1) comprises a rotating test head (2) mounted on a known control casing(3) with demountable sample tubes (4) with level indicators (4a) fitted to the rotating test head by known locks (2a) and sealed by known seals (5). A removable membrane filter(6), with a set pore size(6a) is retained by a retainer (7) in the passageway (2b) between the demountable sample tubes (4). Passageways (2c) connect through known seals (5) the known vent conduit (3a) and pressure conduit (3b) within the control casing (3) to the demountable sample tube air pipes (8). A known temperature sensor (9) senses the temperature of the test fluid (10) pressurised through the membrane filter (6). The temperature sensor (9) is electrically connected by known means to the control and calculation electronics(3c), powered by a 6 known power source, preferably an internal battery (3d).
The air pressure (11) used to pressurise the upper demountable sample tube (4) is compressed by the known air compressor (3e) and sensed by the electronic pressure sensor (3f), any air leakage within the air compressor (3e) is prevented by the known one-way valve (3g).
If required air is stored in the known air pressure reservoir(3h) and controlled by the operating valve (3j). Electric control is by an known on/off switch(3k) and known push button switch (31). Instructions and results are displayed on the known display (3m) by the known processing software electronics within the control and calculation electronics (3c).
Non filterable residue (10a) within the test fluid (10) is shown on the surface of the membrane filter (6), In an example of use the demountable sample tube (4)A, is filled with test fluid (10) to the level mark (4a.) and fitted, sealed and locked to the rotating test head (2). As in Figures 3 & 5 the demountable sample tubes (4) are labelled A & B for easy identification during the preferred test sequence.
7 The rotating test head (2) is then rotated 1800 so that the test fluid in the demountable sample tube (4)A, is uppermost.
The on/off switch (3k) is switched on and the push button switch (31) pressed the air compressor (3c) will compress the air in the air pressure reservoir (3h) up to a pre-determined set pressure then switch off. The display (3m) will then indicate the start pressure and the operating valve (3j) is opened. The upper demountable sample tube (4)A, is pressurised, the resultant air (11) pressure drop within the pressure conduit (3b) is sensed by the electronic pressure sensor (3f) automatically starting the test fluid(IO) flow timing sequence. The test fluid (10) in the upper demountable sample tube (4)A, is pressurised through the membrane filter (6) which consists of a screen filter with a set pore size (6a), any contamination (10a) over the set pore size (6a) which is suspended within the test fluid (10) blocks the pores (6a) of the membrane filter (6), the greater the contamination (10a) the greater the blockage.
As the test fluid (10) filtering through the membrane filter (6) is replaced by air as the demountable sample tube (4)A, empties of test fluid (10) the electronics pressure sensor (3f) senses a distinct drop in the pressure conduit 8 (3b) as the pressurised air within the demountable sample tube (4)A, vents quickly through the filter membrane (6), this pressure drop denotes the end of the test fluid(IO) flow sequence and the control and calculation electronics (3c) close the operating valve (3j).
The time taken by the test fluid (10) to filter through a specific pore size (6a) is processed by the control and calculation electronics (3c) in conjunction with the temperature of the test fluid (10) monitored by the temperature sensor(9), preferably a thermocouple to give a possible vicosity evaluation of the test fluid (10), the result of which is then stored by the electronics.
Air pressure (11) within the upper demountable sample tube (4)A, continues to vent to atmosphere through the lower demountable sample tube (4)B and out through the vent conduit (3a.).
The control and calculation electronics (3c) time an appropriate period to allow complete venting of the demountable sample tube (4)A, to occur then the display (3m) instructs the operator to turn the rotating head (2) 180" such that the demountable sample tube (4)B containing the filtered test fluid (10) is uppermost.
9 The display (3m) instructs the push button switch (31) to be operated which runs the air compressor(3c) till the air pressure reservoir (3h) reaches the pre-determined cut-off pressure.
The display(3m) will then indicate the start pressure and the operating valve (3j) is opened, the upper demountable sample tube (4)B is pressurised this resultant air pressure (11) drop within the pressure conduit (3b) is sensed by the electronic pressure sensor (3f) automatically starting the test fluid (10) flow timing sequence, the filtered test fluid (10) in the upper demountable sample tube (4)B, is pressurised through the membrane filter (6) purging the membrane filter (6) of any contamination by non filterable residue (10a) dogging its lower surface. As the filtered test fluid (10) filtering through the membrane filter (6) is replaced by air as the demountable sample tube (4)B, empties of oil, the electronic pressure sensor (3f) senses the resultant distinct pressure drop within the pressure conduit (3b) denoting the end of the filtered test fluid (10) flow sequence time the control and calculation electronic (3c) closing the operating valve (3j).
The time taken by the filtered test fluid (10) to filter through the specific pore size membrane filter (6) is processed by the control and calculation electronics (3c) in conjunction with the temperature of the test fluid (10) monitored by the temperature sensor (9) to show on the display (3m) the viscosity of the filtered test fluid (10).
Any time difference between the first raw and second filtered tests of the test fluid(I0) is used by the control and calculation electronics(3c) to calculate the level of particle contamination (10a) within the test fluid (10).
