Dial Reading Viscometer

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides technical specifications and features of the Brookfield Dial Reading Viscometer, a device that has become the world standard for measuring viscosity. It highlights the different models available, their viscosity ranges, and the included components and optional accessories.

Specifications: The viscometer models include LVT, RVT, HAT, and HBT, each with varying minimum and maximum viscosity ranges measured in centipoise (cP) or millipascal-seconds (mPa•s). The models offer different speed increments and RPM capabilities, with the minimum viscosity achievable using specific accessories.

Included Components: Each instrument comes with a set of spindles (6 for RV/HA/HB models and 4 for LV models), a spindle guard leg (not applicable for HA or HB torque models), a lab stand (Model A), and a carrying case.

Optional Accessories: The document lists several optional accessories, including viscosity standards, various spindle types, adapters, and temperature control equipment, which enhance the functionality of the viscometer.

Features: The viscometer is designed for easy speed adjustment and operation, featuring an electronic drive for quiet and reliable performance. It includes an analog display that shows percentage torque and a factor finder for converting readings to centipoise. The device is simple to set up and use, with a 2-year limited warranty.

Safety and Performance: The viscometer is available in an explosion-proof version suitable for U.L. Class 1, Division 1, Group D locations without an electronic drive. It boasts an accuracy of ±1.0% of the range and repeatability of ±0.2%.
