c) Inspection by Xylem Analytics Germany with a quality certificate in accordance with
DIN 55 350-18, 4.2.2
The inspection at the manufacturer is carried out by means of comparative measurements using
viscometers as reference measuring standards that were tested at the PTB (corresponds to Item 1).
General Information on the stability of viscometer constants
Each inspection (even with a certificate) can guarantee the technical measuring direction only for a
limited period of time. The constants of viscometers made of the borosilicate glass DURAN
can remain unchanged for long periods of time if the viscometers are kept away from altered
influences. Especially extreme changes can be expected, for instance, during the use of liquids that
attack glass, in particular hot caustic soda hydrated (NaOH) orduring glass-blowing repairs (even for
apparently insignificant repairs).
Liquids whose components adhere to the glass wall also cause errors. In such cases, regular cleaning
is required whereby the corrosive action cleaning agent on the glass must be eliminated.
For this reason, we recommend that the user should write up a special processing instructions for all
important measurements and include them in his quality assurance manual in accordance with
DIN EN ISO 9001. In all cases the user is responsible for the correctness of his measuring and testing
equipment and is not released from his responsibility for quality (cp. DIN 55 350, Part 18).

Storage and transport

®
If the AVS 370 is intended to be stored intermediately or transported again, the original packaging will
provide the best conditions to protect the devices. However, in many cases, this packaging is no
longer available, so that a similar packaging must be created. Sealing of the unit in foil is
advantageous here.
The devices should be stored in a room with a temperature between + 10 and + 40°C and the
(relative) humidity should not exceed 70% (rel.).
If viscometers have to be stored over some time, or to be dislocated, the fluids inside the system,
especially aggressive solution have to be removed.
