Brookfield DV3T Rheometer - Manual (Page 18)

Brookfield Engineering Labs., Inc. Page 18 Manual No. M13-2100
The Command Keys include Clear, Save and Run.
Clear: Clear all data that has been entered into the test parameters
and restore the values to the factory default.
Save: Save the current test.
Run: Run the current test.
The Test Parameter area includes many elements of the viscosity test as well as live measurements
of Torque % and Temperature. Temperature data will only be displayed if a Brookfield temperature
probe is connected to the DV3T Rheometer.
Torque: A live signal from the rheometer.
Spindle: The currently selected spindle. All viscosity, shear
rate, and shear stress calculations will be made based
on this spindle. The spindle number may be changed
by pressing the blue arrow.
Speed: The currently selected speed of rotation. The
rheometer will operate at this speed once the RUN
command key is pressed. The speed may be changed
by pressing the blue arrow.
Temperature: A live signal from the rheometer when a temperature
probe is attached (Brookfield part number DVP-94Y
or SC4-61Y).
End Condition: Specify the condition that will end the test.
Data Collection: Specify the amount of data to be collected during
the test.
Instructions: Create a message that the user will see when the test
begins.
Reports: Define how the data will be viewed when the test is
complete.
QC Limits: Define the limits for acceptable measurement data.
Density: Define the density of the test sample. This information
will be used when kinematic viscosity units are
selected for display (see Section V.4.2)
II.5.2 Configure Yield Test
Yield measurements are made on the DV3T Rheometer through the Configure Yield Test function.
The user can select Configure Yield Test from the Home Menu .
