Calibration Standards for Brookfield Viscometers & Rheometers
AMETEK General Purpose Silicone Fluids are the most widely used viscosity calibration standards for verifying the performance and accuracy of AMETEK Brookfield laboratory viscometers and rheometers. These fluids are Newtonian silicone oils with stable, well-defined viscosity values and exceptional temperature stability.
Each standard is calibrated and certified using methods traceable to the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), ensuring high reliability for instrument validation and quality control procedures. They are also compatible with most other rotational viscometers beyond Brookfield systems.
Unlike traditional oil standards, silicone fluids are less sensitive to temperature changes, making them ideal for repeatable calibration across a range of laboratory conditions.
Key Features & Benefits
- Accuracy: ±1% of stated viscosity value
- Newtonian behavior for reliable and predictable calibration
- Excellent temperature stability compared to oil-based standards
- NIST-traceable certification for metrological confidence
- Supplied with a Certificate of Calibration
- Suitable for Brookfield and most other rotational viscometers
- Special viscosity values and temperature calibrations available upon request
- Most economical solution for routine viscometer verification
Packaging Information
- Fluids with viscosity below 30,000 cP are supplied in 32 oz (1000 mL) bottles
- Fluids with viscosity 30,000 cP and above are supplied in 16 oz (500 mL) bottles
Each bottle is provided with an official calibration certificate.
