The Enhanced UL Adapter Brookfield is used with any standard Brookfield Viscometer and Rheometer to make accurate and reproducible measurements on low viscosity materials. Newtonian and non-Newtonian materials can be measured. It is most commonly used with the LV series instrument (at 60 rpm, these models have a full scale range of 1-10 cP with the UL Adapter). The UL Adapter consists of a precision cylindrical spindle rotating inside an accurately machined tube. Its rheologically correct cylindrical geometry provides extremely accurate viscosity measurements and shear rate determinations. The tube has a removable end cap which allows the open ended tube to be used in a beaker or tank. With the cap in place, the closed tube can be immersed in a temperature bath or used with the ULA-40Y water jacket for precise temperature control. Working temperature range is from -1°C to 100°C.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Ideal for low viscosity materials
• Stainless steel parts are easily cleaned
• Removable cap of low density polyethylene can be considered disposable for one-time use if required
• Reduces measuring range to as low as 1 cP, depending on viscometer used
• Small sample size: 16 mL
• Simple attachment to a standard Brookfield Viscometer or DV3T Rheometer
• Cylindrical geometry provides defined shear rates for detailed product analysis
• Longer coupling nut for better grip and twist action to connect spindle to viscometer
• Redesigned bracket for attaching ULA assembly to viscometer. Provides more clearance for finger grip on coupling nut

QUICK & EASY REMOVAL OF CHAMBER

• Simply loosen thumbwheel and chamber slides down and out
• Permits rapid testing of multiple samples by swapping out chambers
• Choice of leaving spindle attached to viscometer or disconnecting and removing it with chamber
• Water jacket sleeve remains in place attached to the viscometer while the chamber and/or spindle only are removed. Saves set up time for the operator.

UNIQUE ULA ASSEMBLY DESIGN PROVIDES MULTIPLE BENEFITS

• Sturdy collar attaches to locating channel assembly which is connected to the viscometer pivot cup
• Sample chamber is held firmly in place by the collar which provides proper alignment for the spindle rotation within the chamber
• Universal coupling nut on spindle ensures firm connection with viscometer and automatic self-centering of spindle in chamber during rotation
• Direct immersion of chamber in temperature bath is quick and easy
• Water jacket grips slide over collar and operator manually aligns the collar/jacket assembly to allow easy insertion of chamber containing sample to be tested
