To our customers,
This past year, we have focused on the importance of quality
improvements, both in our internal procedures and in our products. For
instance, we introduced a new look and added more options, including
enhanced electronics and data output, with the launch of our new
DV-I Prime Viscometer. In addition, our popular AST-100 In-line
Viscometers are now available in a ange mount design for convenient
mounting and also in a probe style for insertion into tanks from above.
We also introduced two new time-saving options for our digital
viscometer line: our Quick Action Lab Stand moves viscometers up and
down the lab stand with a push of a button while the EZ-Lock Spindle
Coupling System allows operators the convenience of quickly attaching
spindles without the need of threading.
We continue to look forward to providing you with improved
measurement systems. Coming in 2008, a new Texture Analyzer with
tension and compression capabilities normally found in much higher
priced instruments will be introduced. Also coming soon, one of our
most popular instruments will get a new look, and we are also excited
about the debut of a new robust viscometer that can stand on its own in
just about any industrial environment. Be sure to check our website for
the introduction of these exciting new instruments in 2008.

BROOKFIELD VISCOMETERS & RHEOMETERS
Why measure viscosity?
The ability to gather data on a materials viscosity behavior gives
manufacturers an important product dimension. Knowledge of
a materials rheological characteristics is valuable in predicting its
pourability, its performance in a dipping or coating operation, or
the ease with which it may be handled, processed, or used. The
interrelation between rheology and other product dimensions
often makes the measurement of viscosity the most sensitive or
convenient way of detecting changes in color, density, stability,
solids content, and molecular weight.
Why Choose Brookfeld?
Ease of use, fexibility, reliable performance and
quality of service have made Brookfeld Viscometers
favorites all over the world. All Brookfeld Viscometers
are accurate within 1.0% of the range in use and
have a reproducibility within 0.2%. Test results can
be duplicated anywhere in the world when the same
model instrument is used.

Model Selection Table
Brookfeld Standard
Viscometers/Rheometers
Questions to Consider
1. What is the viscosity range of your material: Low, medium, high?
2. What rotational speeds or shear rates are important?
3. How much sample is available for testing?
4. Is temperature measurement/control necessary?
5. Do you need to record the viscosity data?
The Selection Method
The Model Selection Table (shown at right) shows detailed information on
standard Brookfeld Viscometers/Rheometers, including the Dial Reading,
DV-E, DV-I Prime, DV-II+Pro, and DV-III Ultra. The Applications Table (shown
at lower right) shows information on typical applications of the standard
Brookfeld viscosity ranges. There may be industry or supplier/vendor
specifcations that you need to duplicate. Before making a fnal selection,
we suggest that you confer with people in your industry to fnd out which
Brookfeld Viscometer they are using so that your data can be correlated.

The difculty with viscosity measurements of hot melts and liquids at elevated
temperatures has been in maintaining accurate temperature control that is
consistent from sample to sample so that meaningful data could be obtained.

The Brookfeld Thermosel solves this problem by providing a stable, precisely
controlled sample environment. This, together with the inherent accuracy of
the Brookfeld Viscometers, is fundamental to the Thermosel System, which
produces viscosity measurements that are not only accurate but entirely
reproducible.

Several factors contribute to the stable environment:
Non-fuctuating temperature control

Small sample volume and insulated sample chamber which reduces
temperature gradients within the sample

The rotating spindle, which acts as a built-in stirring device

The test procedure is quite straightforward. Once familiar with the system,
unskilled operators can easily produce accurate, reproducible data.

BROOKFIELD ACCESSORIES
Small Sample Adapter
for rheological evaluation where sample volume is limited
The Small Sample Adapter provides a
defned geometry system for accurate
viscosity measurements at precise shear
rates. Consisting of a cylindrical sample
chamber and spindle, the Small Sample
Adapter is designed to measure small sample
volumes of 2 to 16 mL, and easily attaches
to all standard Brookfeld Viscometers/
Rheometers.

Removable Sample Chamber
The design of the Small Sample Adapter
allows the sample chamber to be easily
changed and cleaned without disturbing the
set-up of the viscometer or temperature bath.
This means that successive measurements can
be made under identical conditions.

Temperature Control
The sample chamber fts into a water jacket
so that precise temperature control can be
achieved when the Brookfeld circulating
temperature bath is used. The stirring action
of the rotating spindle, plus the small sample
volume, helps to keep the temperature
gradient across the sample to a minimum.
Direct readout of sample temperature is
provided using sample chambers with
optional embedded RTD sensor connected
to the DV-I Prime and DV-II+Pro Viscometers
and the DV-III Ultra Rheometer. Working
temperature range for the Small Sample
Adapter is from 15C to 100C.

Cylindrical Geometry
The Small Sample Adapters coaxial cylinder
geometry provides extremely accurate
viscosity measurements at defned shear rates.

Disposable Sample Chambers
Disposable 13R chambers, for hard-to-clean
materials, are available in a kit that comes
complete with 100 chambers and special-
sized water jacket (Part No. SSA-DCU).
Additional disposable chambers can be
purchased in quantities of 100 (Part No. SC4-
13RD-100).
Complete system shows the DV-II+Pro
Viscometer and Small Sample Adapter
with Circulating Water Bath for
temperature control.

UL Adapter Ranges cP(mPa-s)
Reduces measuring range to
as low as 1 cP, depending on
viscometer used

Simple attachment to a
standard Brookfeld Viscometer
or DV-III Ultra Rheometer

Small sample size: 16 mL

Cylindrical geometry provides
defned shear rates for detailed
product analysis

Removable cap of low density
polyethylene can be considered
disposable for one-time use if
required

Stainless steel parts are easily
cleaned
BROOKFIELD ACCESSORIES
The Brookfeld UL Adapter is used with
any standard Brookfeld Viscometer and
Rheometer to make accurate and reproducible
measurements on low viscosity materials.
Newtonian and non-Newtonian materials can
be measured. It is most commonly used with
the LV series instrument (at 60 rpm, these
models have a full scale range of 1-10 cP with
the UL Adapter). The UL Adapter consists of a
precision cylindrical spindle rotating inside an
accurately machined tube. Its rheologically
correct cylindrical geometry provides
extremely accurate viscosity measurements
and shear rate determinations.

The tube has a removable end cap which
allows the open ended tube to be used in
a beaker or tank. With the cap in place, the
closed tube can be immersed in a temperature
bath or used with the ULA-40Y water jacket
for precise temperature control. Working
temperature range is from 15C to 100C.
Why replace your current
UL Adapter?
The new design saves a signifcant amount of
time on set up and tear down of equipment.

The new spindle with universal connector is
easier to thread onto the viscometer.

The entire assembly can remain in place
between tests with only the chamber being
removed to prepare the next sample for
testing.
Enhanced UL Adapter
ideal for low viscosity materials
35
Detail of UL Adapter: 1. Locating Channel
Assembly, 2. Water Jacket, 3. Chamber Tube,
4. Collar with thumbwheel, 5. Tube End Cap,
6. Spindle with universal coupling
Quick & Easy Design Saves Time
Quick & easy
attachment of spindle:
Longer coupling nut for better grip
and twist action to connect spindle to
viscometer.

Redesigned bracket for attaching ULA
assembly to viscometer. Provides more
clearance for fnger grip on coupling nut.
Quick & easy
removal of chamber:
Simply loosen thumbwheel, chamber slides
down and out.

Permits rapid testing of multiple samples
by swapping out chambers.

Choice of leaving spindle attached to
viscometer or disconnecting spindle and
removing it with chamber.

Water jacket sleeve remains in place
attached to viscometer while chamber
and/or spindle only are removed. Saves set
up time for the operator.
Unique ULA Assembly Design Provides
Multiple Benefts:
Sturdy collar attaches to locating channel assembly which is
connected to viscometer pivot cup.

Sample chamber is held frmly in place by the collar which provides
proper alignment for the spindle rotation within the chamber.

Universal coupling nut on spindle ensures frm connection with
viscometer and automatic self-centering of spindle in chamber
during rotation.

Direct immersion of chamber in temperature bath is quick and easy.

Water jacket grips slide over collar and operator manually aligns the
collar/jacket assembly to allow easy insertion of chamber containing
sample to be tested.

BROOKFIELD ACCESSORIES
For viscosity/consistency measurement of
gels, pastes, creams, putty, gelatin and other
non-fowing substances.

A Brookfeld Viscometer or Rheometer is
mounted on the Helipath drive motor and a
T-bar spindle is attached to the viscometer
using a special coupling. The drive motor
slowly lowers or raises the viscometer so
that the T-bar spindle creates a helical path
through the test sample thus eliminating the
problem of channeling.

Compatible with standard Brookfeld
Viscometers and DV-III Ultra Rheometers

Simple to set up and clean

Provides a solution for hard-to-measure
materials

Complete with drive motor, 6 T-bar spindles
with coupling, case, lab stand, rod and base
Helipath Stand

HARDNESS
SPRINGINESS
ADHESIVENESS
COHESIVENESS
Force required to compress a food between molars.
Defned as force necessary to attain given deformation.
Rate at which a deformed material goes back to its undeformed
condition after deforming force is removed.
The work necessary to overcome the attractive forces between
the surface of the food and the surface of other materials with
which the food comes into contact (e.g. tongue, teeth, palate).
Work required to pull food away from a surface.
The strength of internal bonds making up the body of the
product (greater the value the greater the cohesiveness)
Peak force of the frst compression cycle.
Height that the food recovers during the
time that elapses between the end of the
frst bite and the start of the second bite.
The negative area for the frst bite,
representing the work necessary to pull
compressing probe away from sample.
The ratio of positive force during the second
to that of the frst compression cycle
(downward strokes only)
*Parameters utilized in determining the manner in which a food handles and behaves in the mouth.

CHEWINESS
The first significant break in the first

Calculated parameter:
Product of Hardness x Cohesiveness
Calculated Parameter:
Product of Gumminess x Springiness
(essentially primary parameters of
Hardness x Cohesiveness x Springiness)
Force at which a material fractures. Related to the primary
parameters of hardness and cohesiveness, where brittle
materials have low cohesiveness. Not all foods fracture and
thus value may relate to hardness if only single peak is present.
Brittle foods are never adhesive.
Energy required to disintegrate a SEMI-SOLID food product to a state
ready for swallowing. Related to foods with low hardness levels.
Energy required to chew a SOLID food product to a state
where it is ready for swallowing. attribute is difcult to
quantify precisely due to complexities of mastication
(shear, compression, tearing and penetration).
BROOKFIELD TEXTURE ANALYZERS
What is texture analysis?
Texture analysis is primarily concerned with the evaluation
of mechanical characteristics where a material is subjected
to a controlled force from which a deformation curve of its
response is generated. These mechanical characteristics in
food can be further sub-divided into primary and secondary
sensory characteristics which have proven to be correlated
to sensory perception.

QTS-25
Consumer products succeed in the marketplace in part
because their textural characteristics are pleasing to
customers. This is certainly true with food products but it also
applies to cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, packaging, industrial
materials and even adhesive type materials.
Why Choose Brookfeld?
Brookfeld has over 70 years experience in providing reliable,
low cost viscosity measuring instruments while ofering high
quality product support. We are now using this recipe for
success to expand our line of physical testing products to
include texture analyzers.
Brookfelds redesign of the LFRA enhances the load capacity
and test speeds of the old model, which evolved from the
Stevens range of Texture Analyzers and further back to the
Boucher Jelly Tester.
The Brookfeld Texture Division provides customers with a
complete texture assessment service. We specialize in the
development of novel and innovative test applications and
accessories for solid and semi-solid materials, enabling our
customers to maximize the practical value of their texture
studies within all test environments.
Utilizing simple compression or tension forces, we are able to
imitate almost all conditions imposed during the manufacture
or handling of a wide range of foods, industrial materials
and personal care products. Such measures provide a real
life insight into the physical properties of a product, often
invaluable in maintaining consistent quality manufacture
while minimizing rejects in production.

Questions to Consider
1. What is the viscosity range of your material?
2. Is your material Newtonian, Dilatant, Non-Newtonian,
Thixotropic or Plastic?
3. What is the minimum, maximum and average pressure
requirement of your application?
4. What is the minimum, maximum and average
temperature of your application?
5. What is the minimum, maximum and average fow rate
of your application?
6. Where in production would you like the viscometer:
in-line, on the top of the tank or on the side of the tank?
7. What electrical code requirements do you have:
NEMA 1 (general purposeindoor)
NEMA 4 (watertight/dust tight for indoor/outdoor use)
NEMA 7 (explosion proofClass 1, Div. 1&2, Group D)
ATEX (explosion proofCode: EE x d 11B T6)
The above parameters may eliminate some of the
instrument models because, for example, the viscosity is
higher than the range of the instrument or outside of the
pressure rating of the instrument. In many cases, more than
one instrument may be applicable.
Please allow us to assist you in choosing the best viscosity
control system for your application.

Why Measure Viscosity In-Line?
Why Measure Viscosity In-Line?
Practical application of viscosity measurement data often leads
to the need for in-process control of viscosity. The installation of
viscosity control equipment on a process can provide a level of
control achievable by no other means. Variations in viscosity are
detected and corrected instantly before they can negatively afect
product quality. Real time viscosity control can reduce downtime
and material waste by ensuring that the process is operating within
its specifed viscosity parameters. In many cases, the savings from
increased efciency can pay back the cost of the viscometer in only
a few months.
Why Choose Brookfeld?
Brookfeld builds its Process Control Viscometers to the
same high standards of performance and value as its
Laboratory Viscometers. Particular attention has been
devoted to making these instruments rugged and easy
to maintain for long service in demanding industrial
environments.

For your viscometers and
rheometers, we will inspect
your instrument for wear,
clean, adjust and lubricate
the internal mechanisms,
replace part of the sensing
system element (the pivot
support assembly and, when required, the pointer
shaft), and check your spindles. Spindles that
are returned to a Brookfeld Service Center are
also straightened if necessary. In addition to this
maintenance, we calibrate and certify in writing
that your instrument is operating within proper
Brookfeld specifcations. This certifcation states
that your instrument has been calibrated against
standards which are traceable to the National
Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST). This is
becoming an increasingly important requirement
as industry throughout the world takes steps to
comply with ISO 9000 regulations.
For texture analyzers, we also inspect for wear,
clean, adjust and lubricate internal mechanisms,
and adjust, if necessary, the zero and span for
proper load cell performance. Certifed calibration
weights can be purchased for your texture
analyzer.

Glossary
Viscosity Glossary
3A
a US industrial standard for process equipment
design; required certifcation for clean-in-place
capability.
Absolute Viscosity
the viscosity value associated with a
Newtonian material
ASTM
American Society of Testing and Materials
Autorange
maximum viscosity value that can be measured
using a specifc spindle at a designed rpm.
bob
spindle used with PVS Rheometer;
also referred to as bob/stator because it does not
rotate on this instrument. The sample cup rotates
instead, causing the shearing action.
Concentric Cylinder
a cylinder within a cylinder. For viscosity
measurement, a cylindrical spindle rotates within
a cylindrical chamber. Also known as Coaxial
Cylinder because both cylinders
have the same center line.
DIN
Deutsche Industrie Normung, German
organization responsible for establishing test
standards; similar to ASTM in United States.
dynecm
a unit of measurement for torque.
Footprint
the bench space or area required for an item of
equipment.
Gap
the distance between the spindle and the
chamber or cup in which the spindle is rotating.
Guard Leg
the protective bracket for spindles supplied with
standard Brookfeld LV and RV
Viscometers/Rheometers.
In-line
process viscometer placement in a pipe.
NIST
National Institute of Standards and Technology.
US Government organization for test standards.
Newtonian
a material whose viscosity value is the same at all
shear rates.
Non-Newtonian
a material whose viscosity changes as shear rate
changes.
On-line
use of a process viscometer to provide continuous
viscosity measurement of a material.
Pneumatic
air operated
PP
plate and plate geometry.
Relative Viscosity
the viscosity value of a non-Newtonian
material at a defned shear rate.
RPM
rotations per minute; a unit of measurement for
spindle speed.
RTD
resistance thermal detector; type of sensor
for measuring temperature
sec
-1
the scientifc unit of measurement for shear rate;
expressed as reciprocal seconds or inverse
seconds.
Shear Rate
the velocity gradient in a fowing material;
the shape and rotational speed of the spindle
rotating in a chamber or cup are used to
calculate shear rate.
Shear Stress
the force per unit area used to move a material.
Spindle Geometry
the shape of a spindle. Brookfeld spindles
supplied with standard Viscometers/Rheometers
(Dial Reading, DV-E, DV-I Prime, DV-II+Pro, DV-III+)
are disc type. Other choices include Cylindrical,
Cone, Plate, KREBS, etc.
Torque Range
the torque measurement capability of a Brookfeld
Viscometer/Rheometer measured in dyneocm;
designations such as LV, RV, HA or HB are used to
defne the Torque Range for a specifc instrument.
Torque %
the amount of torque resistance measured by a
rotating spindle immersed in a material.
Yield Stress
the amount of force required to cause a
material to fow.
Texture Analysis Glossary
Compression Testing
the sample is compressed with a probe of greater
surface area to that of the sample.
Deformation
the change in height of a sample when
a force is applied.
Extrusion Testing
the sample is compressed until fow commences
through an outlet. Texture analysis utilizes
both forward (forced through an aperture) and
backward extrusion (forced back around the
compressing probe).
Penetration Testing
the sample is penetrated with a probe of smaller
surface area than that of the sample. This creates
both shear and compression forces within the
sample and provides a good indication of product
hardness and consistency.
Shear Testing
blades or wires are utilized to cut through
the sample and evaluate cross-sectioned
characteristics using a combination of
compression, shear and tearing forces dependant
upon the geometry of the cutting fxture.
Snap Testing
used to assess the fracture and bend
characteristics of solid materials supported
at either end and compressed in its center.
Stress Relaxation
sample is compressed to a target distance and
held for a period of time. The sample relaxes
under constant stress and the rate and degree of
relaxation is used to evaluate sample elasticity,
freshness, etc.
Tension Testing
the sample is fxed to both the base and the
traveling beam of the texture analyzer and
stretched via an upward movement.
