Vane Spindle Set
includes 3 vane spindles
and storage case
Part No. SSVANE
(empty slot)
Vane spindles can be used with any standard Brookfield Viscometer/Rheometer. V-71, V-72, and V-73 are
supplied in the Vane Spindle Set (Part No. SSVANE). The V-74 and V-75 spindles are optional extras. The
small size of the V-74 vane spindle is ideal for testing small sample sizes and fitting into sample containers
with small openings. However, limited surface area for spindle measurement geometry may make it more
challenging to obtain repeatable shear stress and viscosity values.

diameter when possible. Sample container depth should provide
clearance, at the bottom, greater than or equal to vane spindle
diameter when possible.
