Brookfield

The most popular Brookfield viscometer now measures gel time using unique magnetic coupling that attaches the glass rod to instrument. When gel time is reached, display shows both gel time and equivalent viscosity value. Glass rod is quickly and easily detached from instrument.  Integrated temperature probe provides peak exotherm data if needed.

Gel Timer DV2T comes with glass measurement rod, compression-fit glass rod adapter, lab stand with adjustable stop for quickly positioning glass rod at proper immersion depth in test sample, and temperature probe. Test method can be run either manually or using program stored in instrument memory. Accuracy and reliability of Gel Timer DV2T make this instrument the preferred choice in QC for measuring gel coats, resins, and potting compounds. Viscosity data generated during the test may also prove helpful for complete characterization of material flow behavior.

Packs of 10 glass rods are available; use part number GT-1010. Spare magnetic couplings can be retrofit to existing viscometers; use part number GT-2000.

The DV2T Gel-Timer instrument can also be used as a standard rotational viscometer with the purchase of any standard viscometer spindle set or measurement accessory and carries all of the same viscometry functions as a standard DV2T.

Brookfield provides a variety of viscosity measurement and control systems used throughout the world for many different applications.

Ease of use, flexibility, reliable performance and quality of service have made Brookfield Laboratory Viscometers favorites all over the world.

Each of our standard Laboratory Viscometers/ Rheometers are supplied with an internal spring used to calculate the viscosity of a material. These springs have different measuring capabilities:

• LV is for low viscosity materials and can measure the thinnest materials. Typical examples include inks, oils, and solvents.
• RV is for medium viscosity materials than those measured with an LV torque. Typical examples include creams, food, and paints.
• HA is for higher viscosity materials than those measured with an RV torque. Typical examples include gels, chocolate and epoxies.
• HB is for even higher viscosity materials than those measured with an HA torque spring. Typical examples include asphalt, caulking compounds, and molasses.

The PFT Powder Flow Tester delivers quick and easy analysis of powder flow behavior in industrial processing equipment. It is ideal for manufacturers who process powders daily and want to minimize or eliminate downtime and expense that can occur when hoppers discharge erratically or fail to discharge altogether.

To measure viscosity at a controlled shear rate, at a controlled shear stress or to make a direct yield stress measurement, Brookfield has a Rheometer to meet your need.

The Brookfield CT3 Texture Analyzer is a powerful universal testing machine that offers both compression and tensile testing at a much lower price than other testers in its class.

Now available, our New CTX Texture Analyzer is an advanced model for compression and tension testing of materials.  It allows quick, efficient testing for busy labs that need to improve productivity while maintaining quality.
