Documentation:Standard Operating Procedures for Brookfield Viscometer

From UBC Wiki
  1. Install the proper spindle on the apparatus (#2 or #4).
  2. Level the viscometer so the reading is zero (bubbles in circle should be centered)
  3. Immerse the spindle into the samples.
    • Note: Minimum level has to cover the dented hinch!
  4. To start, push the bar down and turn on the viscometer. As it starts to spin, let go of the bar.
  5. The reading can be taken where the red line reads.
    • Note: The hexagonal knob can be used to adjust the speed of the reading display.
  6. After use, turn off. Clean spindle properly, uninstall and place on the spindle rack.
