Abstract
A configuration capable of suppressing a variation in the measurement result of a falling body viscometer is proposed. Provided is a method of sending a falling body of a falling body viscometer when sending the falling body loaded in a loading unit of a loading holder into a measured substance, in which the falling body of the falling body viscometer is sent out in a manner such that the falling body is sent out from the loading unit by pressing the falling body using an extruding pin, thereby suppressing a variation in the measurement result.
Claims9
An apparatus for sending a falling body of a falling body viscometer, the apparatus comprising:
- an extruding pin which sends a falling body loaded in a loading unit of a loading holder into a measured substance,
- wherein the loading unit includes a falling body holding mechanism which allows the falling body to be movable with respect to the loading unit using the extruding pin while holding the falling body in the loading unit,
- wherein in the falling body holding mechanism, the loading unit includes a vertical hole and a protrusion formed in the inner peripheral surface of the vertical hole, and
- wherein the falling of the falling body is suppressed by a frictional force which is generated between the protrusion and the peripheral surface of the falling body.
