Product Description
The TT-200 Viscometer is flange mounted for use on mixing/blending/storage tanks or in pipe lines using a "T" fitting. The viscosity measurement range and operating shear rate are designed with Brookfield's assistance to suit specific applications such as the 511 sec-1 required by the API standards.
The standard viscometer has a single speed/single shear rate drive. Optionally available with a variable speed motor for variable shear rate requirements or pilot plant applications involving different materials with a broad range of viscosities.
