The full scale viscosity range for any DV-II+ model and spindle may be calculated using the

equation:

Full Scale Viscosity Range [cP] = TK * SMC *

10,000

RPM

where:
TK

= DV-II+ Torque Constant from Table D2

SMC = Spindle Multiplier Constant from Table D1

The Shear Rate calculation is:

Shear Rate (1/Sec) = SRC * RPM

where:

SRC = Shear Rate Constant from Table D1
