Appendix A “Range coecient“
Using the “Range coecient“, the maximum viscosity that can be measured with a specific
spindle can be quickly determined�
1� Identify the selected spindle and the viscometer spring sensor (lo-vi/me-vi/hi-vi l/hi-vi ll)�
2� Find the “Range coecient“ in below table�
3� Divide the range coecient by the spindle speed�
E�g�: If you choose me-vi viscometer with SP-6 spindle: Range coecient is 10,000�
At speed of 10 rpm, the maximum viscosity (mPa·s) is 10,000/10=1,000 mPa·s
