M19-2101 REVISION 2.0 DVNEXT RHEOMETER - OPERATIONAL MANUAL
APPENDIX E - SPINDLE ENTRY CODES AND RANGE COEFFICIENTS
The range coecient is a convenient tool for quickly determining the maximum viscosity that can be measured
with a specific spindle/speed combination. Identify the spindle in use and the torque range (LV, RV, HA, HB) of the
Viscometer/Rheometer. Look up the Range Coecient in the following table. Divide the Range Coecient by the
spindle speed to determine the maximum viscosity in centipoise that can be measured.
E.g., RV Viscometer with RV3 spindle: Range Coecient is 100,000. At 50 RPM, the maximum viscosity that can be
measured is 100,000/50 or 2,000 cP.
The Entry Code is the two-digit number used to identify the spindle in use when operating a standard digital
Viscometer/Rheometer.
