Dial Reading Viscometer
AMETEK Brookfield’s original Dial Reading Viscometer has been the lab standard used around the world since 1934. Now offered with multi-speed electronic drive and ergonomically designed speed control knob for ease of use.
Description
- Dial Reading Viscometer is the lab standard used around the world.
- The original Brookfield Dial Reading Viscometer has been the lab standard used around the world since 1934. Current units have been been improved with a multi-speed electronic drive and ergonomically designed speed control knob so selection of any one of the 10 pre-set speeds (8 speeds on LVT models) is quick and easy.
- The direct-drive design results in extremely quiet operation and greater versatility while the universal power supply facilitates the use of worldwide power sources.
Features and Benefits
- Easy-to-Select Speeds
- Electronic Drive for quiet, reliable operation
- Analog display
– Shows % Torque
– Use Factor Finder to convert the reading to centipoise - Simple-to-use, easy setup
- Accuracy: ±1.0% of range
- Repeatability: ±0.2%
TORQUE EXPLANATIONS:
- LV is for low viscosity materials and can measure the thinnest 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.
