The Small Sample Adapter provides a defined geometry system for accurate viscosity measurements at precise shear rates.
Consisting of a cylindrical sample chamber and spindle, the Small Sample Adapter is designed to measure small sample volumes of 2 to 16 mL, and easily attaches to all standard Brookfield Viscometers/Rheometers.
Features include:
Removable Sample Chamber: The design of the Small Sample Adapter allows the sample chamber to be easily changed
and cleaned without disturbing the set-up of the viscometer or temperature bath. This
means that successive measurements can be made under identical conditions.
Temperature Control: The sample chamber fits into a water jacket so that precise temperature control can be achieved when the Brookfi eld circulating temperature bath is used. The stirring action of the rotating spindle, plus the small sample volume, helps to keep the temperature gradient across the sample to a minimum. Direct readout of sample temperature is
provided using sample chambers with optional embedded RTD sensor connected to the DV-I Prime and DV-II+Pro Viscometers and the DV-III Ultra Rheometer. Working temperature range for the Small Sample Adapter is from -15°C to 100°C.
Cylindrical Geometry: The Small Sample Adapter's coaxial cylinder geometry provides extremely accurate
viscosity measurements at defined shear rates.
