Documentation:Standard Operating Procedures for Brookfield Viscometer
- Install the proper spindle on the apparatus (#2 or #4).
- Level the viscometer so the reading is zero (bubbles in circle should be centered)
- Immerse the spindle into the samples.
- Note: Minimum level has to cover the dented hinch!
- To start, push the bar down and turn on the viscometer. As it starts to spin, let go of the bar.
- 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.
