Operating Instructions M09-086

4. Level the viscometer. General operating procedures for making viscosity measurements are described in the

viscometer operating instruction manual.

5. All Brookfield Digital Viscometers and Rheometers calculate viscosity automatically once the spindle entry

code has been entered. The spindle entry code for the UL Adapter is 00.

Notes

• Maximum recommended viscosity for measurement with the UL Adapter is 2000 cP (mPa•s). If viscosity

exceeds 2000 cP, the material being measured may be too viscous to immerse the spindle into the sample

chamber; damage to internal parts of the viscometer may result.

• For tubing and fluid recommendations when using a Constant Temperature Bath, refer to the table below:
