Brookfield DV1 Viscometer

A continuous sensing capability for rapid viscosity measurement makes this economical digital viscometer a standout. Measures viscosity and temperature simultaneously (with an optional temperature probe). With its timed measurement function, data can easily be sent to a PC or printer. Optional software allows the DV-I Prime to collect, analyze and record test data.

Each of our standard Laboratory Viscometers/ Rheometers are supplied with an internal spring used to calculate the viscosity of a material. These springs have different measuring capabilities:

• 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.
