Brookfield Dial Stepper Viscometer - Manual (Page 12)

Brookfield Engineering Laboratories, Inc. Page 12 Manual No. M00-151-H0612
For maximum accuracy do not take readings below 10% torque. Do not run your Viscometer
for extended periods of time at a % torque greater than 100%.
6. Switch the motor to the OFF position when changing spindles and samples. Remove the spindle
before cleaning.
7. Interpretation of results is discussed in Appendix B of this manual and in our publication "More
Solutions to Sticky Problems."
The following tables apply to Brookfield Viscometer Models LV, RV, HA and HB with standard spindles.
They enable the user to convert the percent scale reading into a viscosity value in units of centipoise (or
milli-Pascal-seconds.) To convert the viscometer dial reading to a viscosity value in units of centipoise,
multiply the reading noted on dial viscometer by the appropriate factor in the following tables.
LV Series Viscometer
Note: LV spindles had designations
1, 2, 3, 4. Digital viscometers require
2-digit entry codes. Therefore, 61,
62, 63, 64 are the corresponding
codes. Spindles supplied with new
viscometers are marked 61, 62, 63,
64.
