Brookfield UL Adapter, Enhanced - Manual (Page 3)

Brookfield Engineering Laboratories Inc. -  - Operating Instructions M06-084-A0507
4. Level the viscometer. General operating procedures for making viscosity measurements are described in the
viscometer operating instruction manual.
5. UL Adapter spindle factors are shown on page 4. The factor is used to calculate viscosity when using Dial
Reading Viscometers. All Brookfield digital model Viscometers and Rheometers calculate the viscosity value
automatically. 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:
