Appendix I - DVE-50A Probe Clip
Probe Clip DVE-50A is supplied with all model DV3T Rheometers, DV-III Rheometers, and
Digital Temperature Indicators. It is used to attach the RTD temperature probe to the LV Guard
Leg (Part No. B-20Y) or 600 mL low form Griffin beaker. Figure I-1 is a view of the Probe Clip,
showing the hole into which the RTD probe is inserted, and the slot which fits onto the LV guard
leg. When inserting the RTD probe into the Probe Clip, the upper part of the Clip is compressed
by squeezing the points shown in Figure I-1.
Note: All Viscometer/Rheometer models — except LV — use the Probe
Clip as shown in Figure I-3.

Figure I-2 shows the Probe Clip (with RTD temperature probe installed) mounted on the LV
guard leg.
Figure I-3 shows the Probe Clip mounted in a 600 mL low form Griffin beaker. This mounting
may be used with LV, RV, HA and HB series instruments.
Caution: Temperature probe must not contact the spindle during
measurement.
Note: The RTD probe must be parallel to the beaker wall so as not to
interfere with the viscosity measurement.
