AMETEK DV2Plus Viscometer

The DV2Plus Viscometer is the next-generation successor to Brookfield’s highly successful DV2T viscometer, delivering enhanced performance, smarter controls, and a modern user experience. Designed for laboratories and industrial environments that demand high accuracy and flexibility, the DV2Plus provides superior viscosity measurement across a wide range of applications.

With a 7-inch full-colour touchscreen, 740 selectable speeds, advanced connectivity, and intelligent test guidance, the DV2Plus redefines what users can expect from a laboratory rotational viscometer.

User Interface & Display

The DV2Plus is equipped with a 7” high-resolution capacitive touchscreen (800 × 480) that offers a wide viewing angle and an intuitive layout. The interface allows clear visualization of key parameters such as:

• Viscosity (cP or mPa·s)
• Temperature (°C/°F)
• Torque (%)
• Shear rate and shear stress
• Spindle and speed selection
• Step program status

The display is responsive and optimized for both experienced users and routine operators.

Intelligent Testing Features

The DV2Plus includes advanced built-in software tools to improve testing accuracy and efficiency:

• Viscosity Wizard for guided test setup, simplifying complex measurements.
• Favorites Menu for saving and recalling frequently used methods.
• Post-test graphing for torque vs time, with direct PDF export and printing options.
• Integrated gel timer, making it ideal for monitoring gel time in resins, coatings, and curing systems.
• Automated oscillation testing and digital leveling for improved setup and repeatability

These features reduce human error and increase reproducibility across operators and labs.

Performance & Measurement Accuracy

The DV2Plus delivers industry-standard performance trusted by laboratories worldwide:

• Accuracy: ±1.0% of full-scale range
• Repeatability: ±0.2%
• Designed for a wide variety of fluids, from low-viscosity solutions to highly viscous materials.

It is ideal for testing materials such as paints, coatings, adhesives, oils, gels, food products, cosmetics, resins, and pharmaceuticals.

Speed Control & Flexibility

With 740 selectable speeds, the DV2Plus offers exceptional control over shear conditions, allowing precise simulation of real-world process conditions. This makes it highly suitable for both quality control and research applications.

The instrument also supports full integration with the HPQA (Helipath Quick Action Stand) for faster and more repeatable measurements, especially for non-flowing materials like gels and pastes.

Connectivity & Software Integration

The DV2Plus features advanced connectivity for modern laboratory environments:

• 4 × USB-A ports
• 1 × USB-B port
• Bluetooth connectivity for wireless communication

These allow seamless connection to PCs, printers, barcode scanners, and external storage.

Optional software includes:

• DV360™ Software for advanced viscosity analysis and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
• DV Create™ Software for building multi-step test methods and ensuring backward compatibility with DV2T methods.

Compliance & Quality Assurance

The DV2Plus supports optional:

• ISO 17025 Calibration
• NIST-traceable standards
• 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, when used with DV360 software

This makes it suitable for regulated environments such as pharmaceutical, food, and biotechnology laboratories.

The DV2Plus Viscometer represents a significant advancement in rotational viscometry technology. Its combination of high accuracy, intelligent testing tools, extensive speed control, and modern connectivity makes it an ideal choice for quality control laboratories, research institutions, and industrial applications requiring precise viscosity measurements.

It offers the reliability of Brookfield technology combined with cutting-edge digital control, making it a future-ready solution for today’s and tomorrow’s laboratory needs.
