Measuring Capabilities of Brookfield Viscometers
Each standard Brookfield Viscometer is equipped with an internal spring designed to measure the viscosity of various materials, depending on their viscosity range:
LV (Low Viscosity): Ideal for measuring thin materials such as inks, oils, and solvents.
RV (Medium Viscosity): Suitable for materials with higher viscosity than those measured with an LV spring, including creams, food products, and paints.
HA (High Viscosity): Perfect for even thicker materials like gels, chocolate, and epoxies.
HB (Very High Viscosity): Designed for the highest viscosity materials, such as asphalt, caulking compounds, and molasses.
For specialised requirements, additional springs are available upon request.
