Appendix D - Spindle Entry Codes and SMC/SRC Values
When using a standard Brookfield digital Viscometer or Rheometer, each spindle has a
two digit entry code which is entered via the keypad on the DV2T. The entry code allows
the DV2T to calculate Viscosity, Shear Rate and Shear Stress values and can also be
calculated when using coaxial cylinder geometry (SSA, ULA, Thermosel, DAA, etc.) and
cone/plate geometry.
Each spindle has two constants which are used in these calculations. The Spindle
Multiplier Constant (SMC) used for viscosity and shear stress calculations, and the Shear
Rate Constant (SRC), used for shear rate and shear stress calculations. Note that where
SRC = 0, no shear rate/shear stress calculations are done and the data displayed is
zero (0) for these functions.
