Why measure viscosity?The ability to gather data on a material’s viscosity behavior givesmanufacturers an important “product dimension.” Knowledge ofa material’s rheological characteristics is valuable in predicting itspourability, its performance in a dipping or coating operation, orthe ease with which it may be handled, processed, or used. Theinterrelation between rheology and other product dimensionsoften makes the measurement of viscosity the most sensitive orconvenient way of detecting changes in color, density, stability,solids content, and molecular weight.Why Choose Brookfield?Ease of use, flexibility, reliable performance andquality of service have made Brookfield Viscometersfavorites all over the world. All Brookfield Viscometersare accurate within ±1.0% of the range in use andhave a reproducibility within ±0.2%. Test results canbe duplicated anywhere in the world when the samemodel instrument is used.PriceChoices for InstrumentationThis chart shows the Brookfield family of Laboratory Viscometersand Rheometers at a glance.
