Check Fluid Resistivity
WARNING
Fire, Explosion, and Electric Shock Hazard
Check the fluid resistivity in a
Failure to follow this warning could cause fire, explosion, or electric shock and result in serious injury and property damage.
Graco Part No. 722886 Resistance Meter and 722860 Probe are available as accessories to check that the resistivity of the fluid being sprayed meets the require- ments of an electrostatic air spray system.
Follow the instructions included with the meter and probe. Readings of 25
Check Fluid Viscosity
To check fluid viscosity you will need:
•a viscosity cup
•a stopwatch.
1.Completely submerge the viscosity cup in the fluid. Lift the cup out quickly, starting the stopwatch as soon as the cup is completely removed.
2.Watch the stream of fluid coming from the bottom of the cup. As soon as there is a break in the stream, shut off the stopwatch.
3.Record the fluid type, elapsed time, and size of the viscosity cup.
4.If the viscosity is too high or too low, contact the material supplier. Adjust as necessary.
