OUT OF RANGE INDICATORS
The DV-III+ is capable of measuring instrument torque within the range of 0 to 100%. Based on
this measurment, viscosity and shear stress are calculated. Brookfield recommends that data be
collected only in the range of 10 to 100%. Any data collected outside of this range is considered
invalid.
The DV-III+ provides the following display indicators when the measurement point is outside of
the 10-100% acceptable range.
TORQUE GREATER THAN 100%
When Rheometer torque exceeds 100%, the parameter display field will show “EEEE” for torque,
viscosity and shear stress.
Figure 8
TORQUE LESS THAN 10%
When Rheometer torque drops below ten (10) percent, the Rheometer will continue to display
measurement (%, cP, D/cm 2 ) values with units flashing:
