for many viscometer users the true viscosity is not as important as a repeatable day to day value. This
repeatable value can be obtained without any special effort for any measurement circumstance. But, it
should be known that this type of torque reading will not convert into a correct centipoise value when
using a Brookeld factor if the boundary conditions are not those specied by Brookeld.
The guard leg is a part of the calibration check of the Brookeld LV and RV series Viscometer/Rheometer.
Our customers should be aware of its existence, its purpose and the effect that it may have on data.
With this knowledge, the viscometer user may make modications to the recommended method of
operation to suit their needs.
