3、ISO 8780-3.NOTE1This practice is restricted to mill bases of moderately highviscosity due to either high vehicle concentration or high pigmentconcentration,or both,which can produce high shear force.It is notintended to provide a means of formulating either pilot plant or full-scalemill base composi

8、s commonly used.4.1.1 Drive UnitThe power rating of the drive unit shallbe sufficient to maintain the peripheral speed of the disk at anagreed value.A reduced rotational speed shall be available forpre-mixing in accordance with 6.2.The motor of the drive unitshall be mounted on a stand together with
9、 the impeller shaft sothat its height can be adjusted.There shall be a clamping devicefor the vessel at the foot of the stand,such that the impellershaft is concentric with the vessel.4.1.2 Disk and Vessel:4.1.2.1 The diameters of the vessel and the disk shall besuch that there is adequate clearance
10、 between the disk periph-ery and the walls of the vessel(see Fig.1).If the disk isserrated,it shall be mounted so that the direction of movementof the serrations is such that the mill base flows in thedirections shown in Fig.1.4.1.2.2 The degree of dispersion achieved will depend onthe type of disk
11、used.Fig.1 shows only one type.4.1.2.3 The type and diameter of the disk,the geometry ofthe vessel,and the speed of the disk shall be agreed upon andrecorded in the test report.NOTE2A vessel with a double wall to allow circulation of a liquid tocontrol the temperature should be employed,if necessary
12、.A lid with acentral aperture may also be provided.NOTE3The diameter of a vessel used in an industrial scale mill isnormally two to three times the diameter of the impeller,or sometimeseven greater.The vessel/disk geometry and the disk speed specified makeallowance for the small diameter of a labora
