The factor is used to calculate viscosity in units of centipoise (cP) or milli Pascal seconds (mPa•s) when using Dial
Reading or Model DV-I Viscometers. The Viscometer dial reading/display value x Factor = cP (mPa•s).

When an older dial reading visco-
meter is used, the viscometer Pivot
Cup may need to be replaced with
the current design. If your visco-
meter has a Type I or Type II pivot
cup, the cup should be replaced
with a Type III cup. Contact
Brookfield or your Brookfield agent
for information.
