FAQs of BROOKFIELD KV-200 VISCOMETER:
Q: How do I select the appropriate spindle and speed range for my sample with the KV-200 Viscometer?
A: To choose the correct spindle and speed, consider your samples expected viscosity; use lower-numbered spindles and/or lower speeds for low-viscosity samples, and higher-numbered spindles or higher speeds for thicker samples. Refer to the user manual for guidance on matching spindle and speed settings to your samples viscosity range.
Q: What type of data output options does the BROOKFIELD KV-200 provide?
A: The KV-200 Viscometer features direct connectivity to computers and printers via its RS232 interface, allowing for convenient data recording, transfer, and analysis. This facilitates integration with laboratory information management systems or on-the-spot printing of viscometry results.
Q: When is calibration or verification of the viscometer recommended?
A: Calibration or verification should be performed periodically based on usage frequency, typically every 6 to 12 months, or whenever measurement consistency is in question. For best results, use certified calibration fluids and follow ASTM or ISO procedures as specified in the manual.
Q: Where can the BROOKFIELD KV-200 Viscometer be installed and operated?
A: This viscometer is designed for use in laboratories, industrial facilities, and quality control environments in India or globally. It operates best in environments with temperatures between 1535C and humidity up to 80% RH, ensuring stable and accurate measurements.
Q: What is the process for connecting the KV-200 to a computer or printer?
A: Simply connect the device to your computer or printer using the RS232 interface cable. Ensure compatible software is installed on your computer for direct data transfer or printing functionality, as described in the product documentation.
Q: How does the digital LCD and auto-ranging display enhance usability?
A: The digital LCD with auto-ranging allows for precise, at-a-glance readings down to 0.01 cP. This feature simplifies result interpretation, reduces error, and streamlines the process of recording and analyzing viscosity measurements.
