Description
FEATURES & BENEFITS
Low cost and easy to use
Direct display in: cP or maps, % Torque, Spindle, and Speed
Torque measurement accuracy: 1% of full scale range
Repeatability: 0.2% of full scale range
Compatible with all Brookfield accessories
NIST traceable viscosity standards available
18 speeds for greater range capability (0.3 to 100 rpm)
TORQUE EXPLANATIONS:
LV is for low viscosity materials and can measure the thinnest materials. Typical examples include inks, oils, and solvents.
RV is for medium viscosity materials than those measured with an LV torque. Typical examples include creams, food, and paints.
HA is for higher viscosity materials than those measured with an RV torque. Typical examples include gels, chocolate and epoxies.
HB is for even higher viscosity materials than those measured with an HA torque spring. Typical examples include asphalt, caulking compounds, and molasses.
