How do you test Brookfield viscosity?

Brookfield Viscosity Testing Service

  1. Select the appropriate instrument torque range/model (e.g. LV RV, HB etc) for your samples.
  2. Condition your samples to the requested temperature.
  3. Perform our tests using best practice on calibrated equipment.

How does a viscosity meter work?

In use, liquid is drawn into the upper bulb by suction, then allowed to flow down through the capillary into the lower bulb. Two marks (one above and one below the upper bulb) indicate a known volume. The time taken for the level of the liquid to pass between these marks is proportional to the kinematic viscosity.

How does the Brookfield DV-1+ measure viscosity?

The Brookfield DV-1+ Viscometer measures fluid viscosity at given shear rates. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow. You will find a detailed description of the mathematics of viscosity in the Brookfield publication “More Solutions to Sticky Problems” a copy of which was included with your DV -I+.

What is a Brookfield viscometer?

Such is the case with the Brookfield Viscometer. Accepted as a standard of viscosity measurement around the world, the Brookfield Viscometer is the nucleus of a library of information that encompasses the experiences of thousands of users in a seemingly endless variety of applications.

How much viscosity does a Wells-Brookfield cone/plate viscometer measure?

Depending on the particular Viscometer model and spindle in use, the Wells-Brookfield Cone/Plate Viscometer will measure viscosities from 0.5 to 1,572,860 cps (although no single instrument will cover this range, the use of several spindles will allow one Viscometer to measure a wide range of viscosities).

What should I do if my Brookfield product has viscosity problems?

Contact the Brookfield technical sales department or your local Brookfield dealer/ distributor with test results to determine the nature of the problem. Calculate the acceptable range of viscosity using RVDV-I PRIME with
