AMETEK BROOKFIELD _ VISCOMETERS / RHEOMETERS Why measure viscosity? Why Choose AMETEK Brookfield? The ability to gather data on a material’s viscosity behavior gives manufacturers an important “product dimension.” Knowledge of a material’s rheological characteristics is valuable in predicting its pourability, its performance in a dipping or coating operation, or the ease with which it may be handled, processed, or used. The interrelation between rheology and other product dimensions often makes the measurement of viscosity the most sensitive or convenient way of detecting changes in color, density,...

1. What is the viscosity range of your material: Low, medium, high? Model Selection Table AMETEK Brookfield Standard Viscometers/Rheometers 2. What rotational speeds or shear rates are important? 3. How much sample is available for testing? 4. Is temperature measurement/control necessary? 5. Do you need to record the viscosity data? The Model Selection Table (shown at right) shows detailed information on standard AMETEK Brookfield Viscometers/Rheometers, including the Dial Reading, DVE, DV1, DV2T, and DV3T. The Applications Table (shown at lower right) shows information on typical applications...
