APPENDIX C - Calibration Verication
e accuracy of the Dial Viscometer is veried using viscosity standard uids which are available from
Brookeld Engineering Laboratories or your local Brookeld agent. Viscosity standards are Newtonian,
and therefore, have the same viscosity regardless of spindle speed (or shear rate). Viscosity standards,
calibrated at 25°C, are shown in Table C-1.

Container size: For Viscosity Standards <30,000 cP, use a 600 mL Low Form Grin Beaker
having a working volume of 500 mL.
For Viscosity Standards ≥30,000 cP, use the uid container.
Inside Diameter: 3.25"(8.25cm)
Height: 4.75"(12.1cm)
Note: Container may be larger, but may not be smaller.
Temperature: As stated on the uid standard label: (±) 0.1°C
Conditions: e Viscometer should be set according to the operating instructions. e water
bath should be stabilized at test temperature. Viscometers with the letters “LV”
or “RV” in the model designation should have the guard leg attached.
