V.3 Data Gathering
Brookfield offers applications software for comprehensive data gathering with any IBM compatible
PC.
Brookfield software will capture and display the following data in tabular and/or graphical
format when used with the appropriate Brookfield Viscometer.
- Viscosity in centipoise (cP) or milliPascal seconds (mPa•s)
- % scale (Brookfield units)
- RPM
- Shear rate (sec
-1
)
- Shear stress (dynes/cm
2
or N/m
2
)
- Temperature (°F or °C)
The data from a Brookfield dial reading, DV-E or DV-I+ (or DV-I) Viscometer can be manually
entered into one of our software applications.
In addition, the Brookfield Strip Chart Recorder (Model 1201) can be used to obtain a permanent
record of the Viscometer/Rheometer torque signal output, as shown in Figure 3. The Model
1202 can be used to record a second parameter, such as temperature, at the same time.
Contact Brookfield or an authorized dealer for more details on the appropriate software to use
with your viscometer/rheometer.
