Appendix D - Spindle and Model Codes

Each spindle has a two digit entry code which is entered via the keypad on the DV3T. The entry

code allows the DV3T to calculate Viscosity, Shear Rate and Shear Stress values.

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.
