Every Brookfield viscosity instrument uses a carefully engineered system to measure the viscosity of liquids and semi-solid materials accurately.
They work on rotational viscometry, using the torque needed to rotate a spindle within the sample.
How does a viscosity measurement work?
Sample Immersion
The instrument submerges a spindle or probe in the sample. The spindle geometry and the material determine the measurement range.
Ask an expertRotation
The spindle rotates gently in the sample. The material's viscosity resists this rotation, which is measured as torque.
Ask an expertData Acquisition
Precise sensors track torque and rotation speed continuously, and the instrument calculates viscosity in real time.
Ask an expertResults Display
The viscosity reading appears on a user-friendly interface, giving immediate insight into the sample's flow properties.
