The AMETEK LV Standard Spindles are precision-engineered accessories designed for use with Brookfield viscometers and rheometers that operate within the LV torque range. These spindles enable accurate viscosity measurements across a wide range of low to medium viscosity fluids.
Each spindle is optimized for a specific viscosity range, allowing users to select the appropriate spindle based on the expected viscosity of the sample. This improves measurement accuracy, repeatability, and instrument performance.
The LV-5 spindle is an optional accessory developed to extend the upper measuring range of standard LV systems, enabling testing of higher viscosity materials beyond the capability of the standard four-spindle set.
Key Features
- Compatible with all Brookfield LV torque viscometers and rheometers
- Precision machined for consistent and repeatable results
- Designed for low to medium viscosity measurement
- LV-5 spindle extends measurement range beyond standard LV limits
- Manufactured by AMETEK for full compatibility with Brookfield instruments
Standard LV Spindle Viscosity Ranges
| Spindle | Viscosity Range (cP) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| LV-1 | 15 – 20,000 | For very low viscosity fluids |
| LV-2 | 50 – 100,000 | Suitable for low viscosity liquids |
| LV-3 | 200 – 400,000 | Mid-range low viscosity testing |
| LV-4 | 1,000 – 2,000,000 | For higher LV-range materials |
| LV-5 | 2,000 – 4,000,000 | Optional spindle for extended range |
Typical Applications
These spindles are commonly used in viscosity measurement for:
- Paints and coatings
- Food and beverages
- Pharmaceutical liquids and suspensions
- Chemical and polymer solutions
- Cosmetic and personal care products
- Research and quality control testing
The AMETEK LV Standard Spindles provide flexible and accurate viscosity measurement when used with Brookfield LV viscometers and rheometers. Their precision design, broad range coverage, and optional extended-range LV-5 spindle make them essential accessories for laboratories handling a wide variety of low-to-medium viscosity materials.
