Rotational Viscometry |
Measures viscosity by analyzing the torque required to rotate a spindle immersed in the sample fluid at a known speed. |
Wide Viscosity Range (in most models) |
Capable of measuring a broad spectrum of viscosities, accommodating various sample types. |
Interchangeable Spindles |
Allow for selection of the appropriate spindle geometry based on the sample viscosity and volume for optimal measurement accuracy. |
Digital Display and User Interface (in most models) |
Offer clear digital displays and user-friendly interfaces for easy operation, data visualization, and parameter adjustments. |
Advanced Models |
Brookfield offers a variety of models with additional functionalities, including: |
|
- Temperature Control: Enables precise viscosity measurement at specific temperatures.
