Brookfield Dial Viscometer Manual
Brookfield Dial Viscometer Operating Instructions Make: Brookfield Engineering Model: Manual Number M/85-150-M897 Reference No: M-016110318a The Brookfield Dial Viscometer measures fluid viscosity at given shear rates. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. The Dial Viscometer rotates a sensing element in a fluid and measures the torque necessary to overcome the viscous resistance to the induced movement. This is accomplished by driving the immersed element, which is called a spindle, through a beryllium copper spring. The degree to which the spring is wound, indicated by the red pointer, is proportional to the viscosity of the fluid.

The Viscometer is able to measure over a number of ranges since, for a given spring deflection, the actual viscosity is proportional to the spindle speed and is related to the spindle's size and shape. For a material of given viscosity, the resistance will be greater as the spindle size and/or rotational speed increase. The minimum viscosity range is obtained by using the largest spindle at the highest speed; the maximum range by using the smallest spindle at the slowest speed. Astro saber model decoding software.
