II.7 Out of Range
TheDV3TRheometerwillgiveonscreenindicationswhenthemeasurementisoutofrangeof
theinstrument.Whenthe%Torquereadingexceeds100%(overrange),thedisplayof%Torque,
Viscosity,andShearStresswillbeEEEE(seeFigureII-7).Ifthe%Torquevalueisbetween0-
9.9%,thedataeldlabelwillash.Whenthe%Torqueisbelowzero(negativevalues),thedisplay
ofViscosityandShearStresswillbe----.
TIP: Brookfieldrecommendscollectingdataonlywhenthe%Torquereadingisbetween
10-100%.
Figure II-7
Measurementdatashouldnotbecollectedwhenthe%Torquereadingisoutofrange.Theoutof
rangeconditioncanberesolvedbyeitherchangingthespeed(reducespeedwhenreadingisoutof
range:high)orchangingthespindle(increasethespindlesizewhenthereadingisoutofrange:low).
TIP: Whencomparingdata,thetestmethodiscritical.Besurethatyouknowtheproperspindle
andspeedrequiredforthetestmethod.Ifreadingsareoutofrange,thisconditionshould
bereportedasthetestresult.
