AMETEK BROOKFIELD VISCOMETERS!
Brookfield Viscometers has a reputation as the global leader in viscosity measurements for over 80 years because of their accuracy, reliability, and versatility. Brookfield viscometers are instruments used to measure the viscosity of fluids. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow, and it is an important property for quality control, research and development, and process optimization in various industries, such as food, pharmaceuticals, beverage, lubricant, paints, and petroleum where the flow properties of liquids are critical to product performance and consistency. Brookfield viscometers are designed for measuring non-flowing materials like putty, gels, pastes, and creams.
The basic principle of a Brookfield viscometer involves measuring the torque required to rotate a spindle or rotor immersed in a fluid at a constant speed. The viscosity of the fluid is then calculated based on the measured torque. The resulting viscosity value can be displayed in different units, such as centipoise (cP) or millipascal-seconds (mPa·s), depending on the specific model and configuration of the brookfield viscometer.
Accurately measure the viscosity of fluids with our various Brookfield Viscometers.

There are several models of Brookfield viscometers available, each with different features and capabilities. The LV, RV, HA, and HB models of Brookfield viscometers are available in different measurement ranges, allowing to cover a very wide range of viscosity, powder, texture, and process testing applications. The flexibility, use, dependability, and quality of service of Brookfield viscometers are relied upon by research labs, quality control, and production segments.
The AMETEK Brookfield viscometers and rheometers make it simple and quick to test viscosity and viscoelastic properties in a various applications. You can check the accuracy of your Brookfield viscometer using viscosity standards. Brookfield viscometers work by applying a controlled amount of shear stress to a sample of fluid and measuring the resulting shear rate. The relationship between shear stress and shear rate is used to calculate the viscosity of the fluid. These instruments are widely used because they provide accurate and reproducible measurements of viscosity, helping industries ensure the quality and consistency of their products.
