Viscosity Standard
Fluids
Brookfield
Viscosity Standard Fluids provide a convenient, reliable way to verify the
calibration of your Brookfield Laboratory Viscometers/Rheometers.
Brookfield Viscosity Standards are Newtonian, and they are available as either
silicone or oil.
Silicone Viscosity Standards
- Accuracy ±1%
- Excellent temperature
stability
- Special viscosity values and
temperatures available upon request
- Recommended for use with Brookfield and most
other rotational viscometers
- Most economical
Oil Viscosity Standards
- Accuracy ±1%
- Appropriate for use at shear
rates greater than 500 sec-1
- Recommended for use with
Cone/Plate viscometers at viscosities above 5000 cP
- Recommended for Brookfield CAP
series and KU-1+ viscometers
Brookfield Viscosity
Standard Fluids are accurate to ±1% of the stated viscosity and are certified
by methods traceable to the United States National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST). The selection of one or two fluids will normally provide
sufficient measurement points to verify calibration of your instrument. All
fluids are supplied in ½ liter (1 pint) containers and with a certificate of
calibration.
Special Order Silicone
Fluids
- Viscosity Blends at 25oC
(77oF) Fluids may be ordered with viscosities other than those
listed for general purpose silicone fluids.
- Minimum: 5 cP
(mPaos)
- Maximum: 60,000 cP (mPa·s)
- Blends will be within ±2% of
requested value
- Temperature Calibrations
General purpose or
blended fluids may be calibrated at temperatures other than 25oC (77oF).
- Minimum: 20oC (68oF)
- Maximum: 80oC (176oF)
- Minimum temperature increment:
2oC
GENERAL PURPOSE SILICONE FLUIDS
Brookfield
Silicone Viscosity Standards provide a convenient, reliable means of checking
the calibration of most Brookfield Viscometers/Rheometers.
These fluids, calibrated at 25oC (77oF), are available in
11 different viscosity ranges.
