Product Usage Instructions:
Assembly:
-
Attach the locating channel to the Viscometer/Rheometer Pivot
cup by screwing the upper mounting screw into the hole at the rear
of the Pivot cup. -
Attach the clamp assembly to the locating channel by screwing
the lower mounting screw on the locating channel into the hole at
the back of the clamp assembly. -
To control sample temperature, insert the sample chamber into
the water jacket.
Operation:
- Pour the sample into the Sample Chamber.
- Insert the Spindle into the Sample Chamber.
- Install the Sample Chamber onto the clamp assembly. Slide it up
into the clamp and tighten the Hand-wheel.
FAQ:
Q: How can I control the sample temperature?
A: You can control the sample temperature by inserting the
sample chamber into the water jacket. If the water jacket does not
slide easily onto the Sample Chamber, lubricate the O-rings with
silicone oil.
Q: What should I do if my viscometer has an older pivot
cup?
A: If your viscometer has a Type I or Type II pivot cup, it
should be replaced with a Type III cup. Contact AMETEK Brookfield
or your local authorized dealer for more information.

When an older dial reading viscometer is used, the viscometer pivot cup may
need to be replaced with the current design as shown in Figure 2. If your
viscometer has a Type I or Type II pivot cup, the cup should be replaced with
a Type III cup. Contact AMETEK Brookfield or your local authorized dealer for
information.

Assembly
With the Viscometer/Rheometer set up on the lab stand and leveled, the DIN
Adapter Accessory is assembled as follows:
1. Attach the locating channel to the Viscometer/Rheometer Pivot cup, shown
in Figure 3, by screwing the upper mounting screw into the hole at the rear of
the Pivot cup. Note: The pin is at the bottom of the locating channel.

2. Attach the clamp assembly to the locating channel, as shown in Figure 4,
by screwing the lower mounting screw on the locating channel into the hole at
the back of the clamp assembly. Note: The pin is at the bottom of the locating
channel.
3. Temperature of the sample may be controlled through the use of a water
jacket. To control temperature, insert either sample chamber into the water
jacket as shown in Figure 5. If the water jacket does not slide onto the
Sample Chamber easily, the “O” rings may need to be lubricated with silicone
oil. Note: If sample chamber DAA-1 is used, the end cap is also installed.

4. The water jacket is connected to a circulating water bath as shown in Figure 6. For temperatures from -15°C to 65°C, gum rubber tubing (Brookfield Part No. EX-TUBING) is used. For temperatures from 65°C to 100°C, Fluran® tubing (Brookfield Part No. ULA-45) should be used.
Operation
1. Pour the sample into the Sample Chamber. 2. Insert the Spindle into the
Sample Chamber. 3. Install the Sample Chamber onto the clamp assembly, see
Figure 7. Slide the Sample Chamber/Water Jacket
up into the clamp and tighten the Hand-wheel. Figure 7: Installing the Sample

4. Install the Spindle onto the viscometer/rheometer pointer shaft, see Figure 8. For the Standard Coupling Nut, lift the coupling when attaching the spindle to avoid damage to the instrument. (Note: spindles have a left-handed thread for installation.) For the Magnetic Coupling, attach the spindle coupling to the viscometer by carefully inserting the spindle coupling into the instrument coupling. When properly installed, there should be no gap between the spindle coupling and the instrument coupling.

5. If the viscometer is a digital model, enter the proper spindle entry code
(85, 86 or 87) following the procedure in the viscometer/rheometer operating
manual. If a model Dial Reading is used, the spindle factors are found on page
4 of this manual.
6. The viscometer/rheometer speed may now be set and readings can be taken as
described in the viscometer/rheometer operating manual.
