Brookfield (USA) Viscometer, Cat. No. DV2TRV
Brand
Brookfield
Description
Displayed info includes: viscosity (cP/mP·s), temperature (°C/°F), shear rate/stress, % torque, spindle/speed, step program status
Built-In options include timed tests, data averaging, programmable QC limits/alarms, customizable speed/spindle lists, on screen data comparison
Auto range shows maximum viscosity measured with any spindle/speed combination
Front-facing bubble level for convenient viewing
Built-in temperature probe
Speed: at least 0.1 – 200RPM
Number of increments: 200
Measuring range/Viscosity range: 100 – 40 M cP (M = 1 million)
Accuracy of ±1.0% of range with displayed test data
Repeatability of ±0.2%
Using for the UL Spindle
- Enhanced UL Adaptor for low viscosity materials
- Small sample size: 16mL
- Viscosity measurement Ranges cP (mPa s): 3.0-2K (K=1thousand)
- Magnetic stirring motor must be equipped and stirring speed range: 0.5 to 100 RPM and Shear Rate range: 0.61 to 122.30 (sec-1)
Using for the SC4-21, SC4-28
- Small sample adaptor that is allowed to connect with two sample chamber sizes: volume = 7.1mL and 11.0mL
- adaptor can connect with two size spindles made of stainless steel to measure viscosity range =25-500K cP (K=1thousand) and 250-5M cP (M=1 million)
Applications
RV is for medium viscosity materials than those measured with an LV torque. Typical examples include creams and food.
