Detailed Product Description
Brookfield Economy Digital DV-E Viscometer - Model LVDVE
The Brookfield LVDVE Economy Digital Viscometer represents the perfect balance between affordability and professional-grade performance. Designed by AMETEK Brookfield, the global leader in viscosity measurement, this model provides a low-cost entry point into digital viscometry without compromising on accuracy or reliability. It is specifically engineered for low-viscosity materials such as solvents, inks, oils, and dairy products.
User-Friendly Digital Interface The LVDVE features a streamlined interface that allows lab operators to "test like a pro" with minimal training. The sharp digital display eliminates the need for manual calculations by providing direct readouts of viscosity (cP or mPa·s), percent torque, spindle number, and rotational speed. This simultaneous display of parameters ensures that all critical data is available at a glance, improving laboratory efficiency and reducing the risk of transcription errors.
Versatile Speed and Range Capability With 18 rotational speeds ranging from 0.3 to 100 RPM, the LVDVE offers exceptional versatility for characterising different fluid behaviours. Whether you are measuring thin Newtonian fluids or complex non-Newtonian materials, the wide speed range allows you to find the ideal shear rate for your specific application. The unit is capable of measuring viscosities as low as 1 cP (with a UL Adapter) up to 2 million cP, making it a robust tool for diverse QC and R&D environments.
Reliable Design and Connectivity This model comes equipped with a Temperature Controller (TC) and Printer Jack (PJ) output, allowing for enhanced data logging and integration with temperature-controlled environments. The inclusion of a Type D power cord makes it ready for immediate use in professional settings. Built with a calibrated spring torque sensor, the LVDVE ensures repeatable results day after day, backed by the quality and long life associated with the Brookfield brand.
