Brookfield UL Adapter, Enhanced - Manual (Page 4)

Brookfield Engineering Laboratories Inc. - 4 - Operating Instructions M06-084-A0507
The factor is used to calculate viscosity in units of centipoise (cP) or milli Pascal seconds (mPa•s) when using
Dial Reading or Model DV-I Viscometers. The Viscometer Dial Reading/DisplayValue x Factor = cP (mPa•s).
Factors are built-in for Digital Models DV-E, DV-I+, DV-I Prime, DV-II+ (all versions), and DV-III (all versions)
— no calculations required.

Figure 4: Pivot Cup Compatibility
When an older dial reading visco-
meter is used, the viscometer pivot
cup may need to be replaced with the
current design. If your viscometer
has a Type I or Type II pivot cup, the
cup should be replaced with a Type
III cup. Contact Brookfield or your
Brookfield agent for information.
