Versatility in Viscosity measurement

LABORATORY INSTRUMENT
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
SYSTEMS
Brookfield TC series digital
baths/circulators and coolers with
range capability -20C to 200C.
Brookfield Thermosel System for
measurement of small samples to
300C.
VIS CAL KIT
This must-have kit provides all the
necessary items to verify calibration
including a Brookfield 600ml beaker,
pint of silicone viscosity standard,
dispensing bottle for cleanup and
Trapper cleaning agent (available
only in the USA).
SMALL SAMPLE ADAPTER
DISPOSABLE CHAMBERS
Disposable sample chambers are
ideal for hard-to-clean materials
because there is no cleaning. You
take the measurement, lift out the
chamber and toss it away. A special
kit is available to retro-fit your
existing Small Sample Adapter.
CALIBRATION & CERTIFICATION
Annual service program for your Brookfield
Viscometer which includes replacement of parts
as necessary and cleaning of the sensing system
to guarantee long life and good performance.
Program includes an updated Certificate of
Calibration. Rush 24-hour and 48-hour service
available as well as loan instruments.
PRACTICAL COURSE ON
VISCOSITY MEASUREMENTS
A single day course which covers such topics as the
principle of viscometer operation, calibration,
rheology, methodology and data interpretation.
Classes available at major metropolitan areas
throughout the United States and at our plant.
Customer on-site classes may also be arranged.

FACTOR FINDER INSTRUCTIONS
This Factor Finder applies to Brookfield Dial Reading
VISCOMETER Viscometers. Torque ranges include LV, RV, HA and HB with
standard spindles. Insert slide in sleeve so appropriate torque/
TORQUE RANGE spindle selection is visible in window.
SPINDLE
NUMBER* To convert Viscometer dial readings to centipoise (mPas),
adjust slide until Viscometer torque range and spindle number
being used appear in window. Multiply reading noted on
Viscometer dial (0-100 scale) by factor shown beside speed at
which measurement is being made. Turn slide over for HA/
HB factors.
SPEED-RPM FACTOR Dial Reading x Factor = Viscosity in Centipoise (mPas)
Example: LVT with #61 spindle at 6 rpm
Dial Reading: 75 Factor: 10
75 x 10 = 750 centipoise (mPas)
Full scale viscosity range for any speed and spindle combina-
tion is the maximum viscosity that can be measured. Calculate
as shown.
K = 1000 Factor x 100 = Full Scale Viscosity Range
*LV spindles may be marked as
either 1, 2, 3, 4 (for use with Dial
F: 508-946-6262 Viscometers) or 61, 62, 63, 64
Example: LVT with #61 spindle at 6 rpm Factor: 10
(for use with Digital Viscometers) 10 x 100 = 1000 cP (mPas)
