1
Use only laboratory grade ethylene glycol. Do not use automobile anti-freeze which
contains materials that can damage the equipment.
2
Fluran tubing (5/16" ID) and clamps are offered in a kit, Part No. ULA-54A.
3
Do not use high viscosity oil - 50 centipoise is recommended.

Small Sample Adapter Viscosity Ranges cP(mPa•s)
Not applicable for historical reasons.
However, it is possible to use the above
spindles with any of these instruments.
Digital Viscometers/Rheometers will
automatically calculate viscosity. Please
contact Brookfield or an authorized dealer if
you require information on viscosity range.

if you require information on viscosity range.
M = 1 million K = 1 thousand N = RPM e.g. Spindle SC4-18 1.32 x 10 (rpm) = 13.2 sec-1 cP = Centipoise mPa•s = Millipascal•seconds
N/A = Not applicable for historical reasons. However, it is possible to use any spindle/chamber combination with any torque range. Digital viscometers/rheometers will automatically calculate viscosity.
* Examples
