Calibration of Brookfield Viscometer

Learn how to verify the performance of Brookfield Viscometer using 5.00 cps, 50.00 cps and 5000.00 cps standards.

PROCEDURE

  • Ensure that all the connections of the instrument are proper.
  • Turn the viscometer ON.
  • Take out the viscosity standard solutions in 500 ml beaker, adjust the temperature to 250C. Attach the required spindle, adjust required speed & measure the viscosity, note down the constant reading.
  • Viscosity standards, speeds, spindles required & tolerance limits are as follows:
Sr.
No.
Viscosity of standard in cps
Actual viscosity of standard in cps
Spindle No.

Acceptance criteria

  • Viscosity should be within the tolerance limits.
  • Do not transfer the viscosity solution to the original container back after use.

Precautions

  • Take due care to avoid any contamination of the standard solutions.
  • Avoid air bubble entrapment during transfer of standard solutions.

Frequency

Once in 6 months.
