I. INTRODUCTION
 TheBrookeldKU-2ViscometermeasuresuidviscosityinKrebsunits.Apaddletypespindle
isdrivenat200rpmbyaconstantspeedmotor.Thereactiontorqueofthespindlerotatingat
200rpmisconvertedtoviscosityinKrebsUnits.ThedigitaldisplayoftheViscometershows
viscosityinKrebsUnits(KU),theassociatedgramsvalue(gm),andviscosityincentipoise(cP).
ThevalueforcentipoiseisaconversionfromtheKrebsvalueasdescribedintheASTMstandard
D562.TheViscometerwillmeasureviscosityfrom40KUto141KU,atweightsof32to1,099
grams(theequivalentcentipoiserangeis27-5,274cP).Applicationreferenceinformationcan
befoundinASTMD562.
