SPRING TORQUE

Each of our standard Laboratory Viscometers/ Rheometers are supplied with an internal spring used to
calculate the viscosity of a material. These springs have different measuring capabilities:

LV is for low viscosity materials and can measure the “thinnestâ€​

materials. Typical examples include inks,
oils, and solvents.
RV is for medium viscosity materials than those measured with an LV torque. Typical examples include creams,
food, and paints.
HA is for higher viscosity materials than those measured with an RV torque. Typical examples include gels,
chocolate and epoxies.
HB is for even higher viscosity materials than those measured with an HA torque spring. Typical examples
include asphalt, caulking compounds, and molasses.

Additional special springs are also available upon request. To learn more about spring ranges and model
selection, please call Brookfield Engineering or one of our authorized dealers.

LEARN ABOUT VISCOSITY

Need help? Our Education section may be just the thing to clarify unfamiliar terms and help start you on your way
to a better understanding of viscosity. Learn about viscosity and rheological relationships, Newtonian and non-
Newtonian fluids, how a Brookfield instrument can help your production process, and much more.

ANNUAL CALIBRATION SERVICE (RECOMMENDED)

We recommend that this instrument be returned to Brookfield or an authorized dealer on an annual basis for our
Calibration & Certification Service. Having this annual maintenance done will ensure the instrument's long life and
optimal performance.
