I. INTRODUCTION The Brookfield Thermosel System consists of a Brookfield Viscometer, or Rheometer, with related accessories to accurately measure the viscosity of liquids at elevated temperatures. Viscosity measurements are obtained using coaxial cylinder geometry. Temperature is controlled by a solid state, triac output, Proportioning Controller which maintains the spindle, chamber, and sample material at the desired temperature.

Make sure to push up gently on the pivot screw that protrudes from the bottom of the viscometer. Connect the coupling link to the spindle and to the coupling nut. Place the insulating cap over the sample chamber inlet. Brookfield Engineering Laboratories, Inc. Page 4 Manual No. M/94-204-D1101...
2. Raise the viscometer to the highest level on the stand. 3. Remove the sample chamber (HT-2 or HT-2D) using the extracting tool (HT-59 or HT-116 respectively) and place it in the sample chamber holder (HT-54). Brookfield Engineering Laboratories, Inc. Page 6 Manual No. M/94-204-D1101...

3. Weigh into the sample chamber the amount of test sample which in the liquid state will be equivalent to the test volume required. 4. Place the sample chamber into the thermo-container and proceed, following the steps outlined for liquid samples at ambient temperature, starting on Page 6. Brookfield Engineering Laboratories, Inc.

(tap water) through it. NOTE: Water must be circulating through the cooling plug at all times prior to and during the cooling period. Brookfield Engineering Laboratories, Inc. Page 8 Manual No. M/94-204-D1101...
Chloride or Hydrochloric Acid solutions. Use mechanical action as required to scrape out the chamber. Disposable sample chambers (Part No. HT-2DB) do not require any type of cleaning and may be discarded after use. Brookfield Engineering Laboratories, Inc. Page 9 Manual No. M/94-204-D1101...
HB VISCOMETER SPEED SPINDLE NUMBER (RPM) 1.6K 1.6K 160K K=1000 To calculate viscosity in centipoise (cP), multiply the dial reading by the factor corresponding to the viscometer spindle and speed combination utilized. Brookfield Engineering Laboratories, Inc. Page 12 Manual No. M/94-204-D1101...
APPENDIX B — High Temperature Calibration Fluids These fluids are recommended for verifying the calibration of the Brookfield Thermosel Systems I, II, and III. Temperature Nominal Viscosity °C °F Fluid Centipoise (mPa•s) HT-30,000 25.0 30,000 93.3 9,000 149.0 4,500 HT-60,000 25.0...
A package of five disposable aluminum sample chambers (Brookfield Part Number HT-2DB, Figure 3) and one pair of extraction pliers (Brookfield Part Number HT-116) are supplied with each new Thermosel System. Additional disposable sample chambers are available in lots of 100 pieces, Part No.
APPENDIX D — Solid Shaft Spindle Option Solid shaft spindles are available for use with the Brookfield Thermosel Systems. These spindles facilitate the measurement of “stiff”, slow-flowing materials such as: Candy base Pastes Highly-filled epoxies Asphalts The solid shaft on these spindles minimizes the “walking” (eccentric rotation) experienced when measuring “stiff”...
APPENDIX F — Warranty Brookfield Thermosel Accessories are guaranteed for one year from date of purchase against defects in materials and workmanship. All instruments requiring warranty repair must be returned to Brookfield Engineering Laboratories, Inc. or the Brookfield dealer from whom it was purchased for no charge warranty service.
