CALIBRATION STANDARDS FOR BROOKFIELD VISCOMETERS

Silicone standards are used for the calibration of Brookfield viscometers and other allied rotary viscometers.

Silicone should only be used when the moving parts can be easily cleaned i.e. spindles or cylinders. The following table illustrates the types available. All the standards supplied for QCL are within a accuracy of ±0.2%. All other standards supplied by other companies have a accuracy of ±1%. If your instrument has a accuracy of ±1% using a inferior standard will give a minimum  accuracy of ± or minus 2%.

All standards are calibrated over 6 temperatures i.e. 20.0 to 26 Degrees Centigrade.

All values are stated in CENTIPOISE.
