Test Method

Determines the low temperature‚ low shear rate viscosities of gearoils‚ automatic transmission fluids‚ hydraulic oils and other fluidlubricants by use of the Brookfield viscometer.

Features and Benefits

• Sample soaking and testing in a single bath‚ eliminating the need foran air bath and the risk of sample temperature rise during transfer

• Redesigned for improved control of sample movement and handling during testing

• Microprocessor PID temperature control duplicates the sample cooling rates in ASTM D2983

• Up to 40 cooling/testing temperature profiles can be stored in memory

• Redesigned turntable mechanism seals out moisture to minimize ice formation

BV3000 Brookfield Viscosity Liquid Bath

Constant temperature liquid bath permits testing of samples without therisk of sample temperature rise. After cooling in the air bath‚ thesample must be transferred to the balsa cell carrier for testing withthe Brookfield viscometer. If the sample is not tested quickly‚ thereis the risk of sample temperature rise. The Brookfield Viscosity LiquidBath eliminates this risk by permitting the sample to be tested in aconstant temperature environment. The Brookfield viscometer mountsdirectly on the bath and the samples are rotated into position underthe spindle by means of a built-in turntable. Cooling system maintainstemperature with ±0.05°C stability in the range of +10°C to•55°C. Bathtemperature is displayed in digital format.
