rotation and starts or stops current test.
RANGE
Presents the maximum (100% torque) viscosity
attainable (known as Full Scale Range) for the
spindle/speed selected. Viscometer accuracy is
±1% of the maximum (100% torque) viscosity
value; minimum recommended viscosity range is
10% of the maximum viscosity value.
Note: Range was called Autorange on previous
versions of Brookeld Viscometers.
