Brix viscoMeter

The Brookfield viscometer calculates viscosity by measuring the resistance encountered by a rotor as it rotates through a sample. It is used to test the viscosity of fluids such as paints and inks, guiding adjustments in production processes and quality control.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the rotor model to the sample's viscosity range; if temperature control is needed, choose a constant temperature device. Determine the rotor material based on the sample's corrosiveness, and ensure the operation interface is clear and easy to read.
