The DV1 is AMETEK Brookfield’s workhorse QC viscometer. A low cost, continuous sensing instrument, now with timed measurement function. The DV1 measures viscosity and temperature simultaneously with a choice of 18 different speeds. With its timed measurement function, data can easily be sent to a PC or printer.
- 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.
