Example 1:

Determine the full scale viscosity range of the LV3 spindle running on an
RV series Rheometer at 45 RPM.

Spindle Speed = 45 RPM

LV3 Spindle Range Coefficient for RV series Rheometer = 1,280,000

Full Scale Viscosity Range = 1,280,000 = 28,444 cP (mPa•s)

Example 2:

Determine the full scale viscosity range of the LV3 spindle running on a

2xHA Rheometer at 103.5 RPM.

Spindle Speed = 103.5 RPM

LV3 Spindle Range Coefficient for 2xHA Rheometer = 2 x 2,560,000

Full Scale Viscosity Range = 5,120,000 = 49,468 cP (mPa•s)

45

103.5

Note:

The maximum viscosity that should be taken from the DV-III Rheometer is at 100% of any
full scale spindle/speed range.
