I. Overview
DWY-2 electrical stability tester (is also called demulsification voltage tester), is a special instrument mainly used to test relative
stability of water-in-oil emulsion, used to test stability range to oil-in-water emulsion drilling fluid, can forecast resistance and time
stability of system’s electrolyte impurities based on the measurement of relative emulsification stability. The instrument is also used
to evaluate oil-based drilling fluid, oil-based pipe freeing agent, cement and fissure water, etc. Therefore, it can be widely used for
departments of oil, mining, drilling crew and laboratory, etc.

c) Working Principle and Characteristics
The instrument uses micro-computer technology and converts to AC voltage of 0～2000V and test voltage of frequency 340Hz
through step-up-conversion. When press ‘RUN’ key, the voltage between electrodes of probe will rapidly, automatically and uniformly
increase by (150±10V/second) voltage rise rate, when the test sample of sample cup is slowly ionized and finally broken down, the test
circuit will automatically display the sample’s electrical stability value. At the same time, buzzer alarm will start and ALARM indicator
light will ‘flash’. The power supply of instrument uses AC and DC. Under the condition of connecting power supply, the instrument will
be in the state of charge and not affect normal testing of instrument.
The instrument uses high-precision sine wave output test mode, replaces the original square-wave output test mode in China, so, it
has the characteristics of continuity, accurate test, intuitive reading, high resolution, accuracy data, good repeatability and high reliability,
etc.
V. Operation of Instrument:
1. Before use, please check whether the working power supply (AC220V±10％ 50Hz) meets the requirements, the power supply should
be well grounded; The space between the electrodes should be clean and dry.
2. First, don’t access test probe; then connect to power supply, turn on power switch at the side of instrument, the POWER indicator light
of instrument panel will light, four-bit LED nixie tube display window will display the initial value of ‘0000’, CP indicator light will
‘flash’ by fixed period, what means that it is ready and waiting for run; at this time, press ‘RUN’ key to make instrument dry running to
2047 word, then again preheat instrument for 5-15 minutes after automatically reseting to zero.
3. Heat the sample to 50℃±2℃ and stir it uniformly. (Note: the temperature will affect electrical stability test value, so the test should be
implemented under 50℃±2℃).
4. Connect probe’s plug with instrument’s PROBE SOCKET, then insert probe’s electrode tip into sample bowl cover, to make sample
immerge electrode and keep electrode not touch sample’s cup wall and bottom, stir sample with electrode for 30 seconds and steady for
1 minute. (Due to the liquid’s flow is strong, so must steady for a period of time and then start the test) Please see (Figure III)

5. Press ‘RUN’ key on instrument’s control penal to start step-up operation, at this time, the four-bit LED windown digit gradually rises
from ‘0000’ until the test is over. Can’t move test probe during measuing process.
6. The buzzer alarms, while ‘ALARM indicator light’ flashes, the numerical value of four-bit LED nixie tube display window is measured
value, and report the value.
7. Press ‘RESET’ key to make the value of LED display window zero clearing, then stir the sample for 30 seconds, repeat the steps of 5
and 6 for 5 times and report the measured average value of 5 times, the average value is the electrical stability value of tested sample.
8. The allowable deviation of repeated test’s results is±5％, such as: the first test value of a sample is 900V, then the result of repeated test
should be 855V～945V (900V’s ±5％), or else, please check whether the electrode is clean or change probe.
9. After completing test, please turn off power supply, take out probe and wash it by water, then thoroughly clean the space between
electrode pads by filter paper or paper towels, naturally dry and spare it.
VI. Matters Needing Attention
The instrument is built in chargeable battery pack, is used as standby power for non-AC power or power outage. It will be under charge
state when connects to working power supply (AC220V±10％ 50Hz) (not turn on the power switch on the left side of instrument), or turns
on the power switch for testing. Therefore, the built-in battery pack will be fully charged under above two situations and for 3-6 hours. (Can’t
continuously charge for more than 8 hours, otherwise, will affect the life of battery pack, or even damage it; whenever possible, please use
AC power to measure). At this time, if you want to use DC power supply, can unplug AC power plug and turn on the power switch, and test
according to above 2-9 operation steps. If the deviation between test data and what of AC is ≥10, or the data is automatically reset to ‘0000’
during step-up process, it shows that DC power supply charging is not enough, should continue to charge to use.
VII. Calibration of Instrument
1. Check whether the electrode and cable are damaged.
2. Test conditions
2.1Working power supply (AC220V±10％ 50Hz)
2.2 The space between electrodes is clean and dry.
2.3 The electrode spacing is required as 1.55±0.04mm.
3. Ensure the space between electrodes has no sediment, the connector between electrode and instrument’s PROBE SOCKET probe
socet should be clean and dry.
4. Under the situation of not installing probe, press RUN key according to instructions to implement step-up test, the numerical value of
four-bit LED nixie tube display window should achieve the max. 2047 words allowed by instrument if the operation is normal.
5. Re-connect probe’s plug to instrument’s PROBE SOCKET, press RUN key and implement one step-up test in the air, similarly, the
numerical value of four-bit LED nixie tube display window should achieve the max. 2047 words allowed by instrument. Or else,
both probe and connector need to again clear, dry or replace.
