    This document describes testing the viscosity of FH guar gum powder using a Fann viscometer. A 1% solution of guar gum powder in water is prepared at 25°C. The solution is mixed and its viscosity is measured at various time intervals using the viscometer. The viscosity increases over time as the guar gum hydrates and absorbs water. Maintaining the temperature at 25°C throughout the testing is important.

    VISCOSITY TESTING BY FANN FH 04/02/12 1 of 2


    VISCOMETER OF FH GUAR GUM POWDER

    1- OBJECT AND APPLICATION DOMAIN

    Determination of the VISCOSITY BY FANN VISCOMETER OF FH GUAR GUM


    POWDER in an aqueous solution.

    2- DEFINITION

    After putting guar into aqueous solution, the measurements of viscosities are performed
    with a FANN viscometer with the defined in the method.

    The result is obtained after reading on dial of the viscometer.

    3- PRINCIPLE

    A solution at 1% (p/p) of standard Guar is prepared in deionized / D.M. / Distilled water


    at 25C temperature.
    Mix according to the method given.
    Make a reading of the viscosity after different time intervals.
    Maintain temp. at 25C throughout the testing.

    4- REAGENTS

    VISCOSITY TESTING BY FANN FH 04/02/12 2 of 2
    VISCOMETER OF FH GUAR GUM POWDER

    6- SAFETY

    6.1 EQUIPMENT
    During the agitation, the beaker must be held.

    6.2 REAGENTS
    No particular measurements

    6.3 SAMPLE TO BE TESTED


    Maintain enclosed conditions to avoid atmospheric humidity effect, as Guar sample can
    be hygroscopic.

    7- OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

    7.1- STANDARD FH GUAR FANN Viscosity in Cold

    a) Weigh 2.4 g of Guar, 4.0g KCL and Weigh 496 g of DI water in a 600 ml beaker at
    temp. 25C. Introduce the KCL in water while stirring and let it mix completely. Now mix
    Guar powder into the water under agitation on the top of the vortex formed by a rotation
    of the propeller at 1500 rpm. The duration of the introduction must not exceed 15 s.
    Once the guar is poured, start the chronometer and let it stir for 2 minutes & 30
    seconds.

    b) Pour the solution into FANN Viscometer container up to mark shown in the container.
    Place it under viscometer spindle and measure the viscosity at 300rpm set for the
    spindle speed in the Viscometer. This activity should be completed quickly to ensure
    first notation of reading at 3 minutes of solution preparation.

    Carry out readings at different time intervals as shown in the chart or as required.

    TIME IN THIS TABLE STARTS FROM POINT OF MIXING POWDER IN WATER.

    TIME READING
    3 MIN.
    10 MIN.
    30 MIN.
    60 MIN.

    Remarks: Ensure to maintain 25C temp. throughout the testing.
