VISCOSITY
DV-E
ECONOMY DIGITAL VISCOMETERS
Combines the desirable features of the dial reading analog viscometer with advanced digital display technology.
The DV-E allows laboratory technicians to simultaneously measure viscosity
and torque. Test parameters are changed by simply pushing a switch and
turning a knob. The DV-E is available in four ranges which cover virtually
the entire measurable viscosity range from low to high.
■ Low Cost and Easy to Use
■ Displays viscosity (cP), % Torque, spindle number and speed simultaneously on a 16-character x 2 line backlit LCD.
■ 18 Speeds for greater range capability (0.3, 0.5, 0.6, 1.0,
1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 10, 12, 20, 30, 50, 60,
100 rpm)
■ Accuracy 1%, Repeatability 0.2%
■ Rotary switch for spindle and speed changes
■ Auto range function to display full scale range for speed
and spindle combinations
■ Voltage:115 VAC-50/60 Hz CE Approved
■ The DV-E Viscometer is supplied with a Certificate of Calibration. It is certified referencing an NIST traceable fluid.
■ Gross Weight (shipping): 29 lb (9 kg)
Net Weight: 17 lb (7.7 kg)
■ Can be used with all accessories.

The head of the DV1 viscometer features a new shape and a larger easy-to-read display. Multiple
language choices are now included and the user interface has three hot keys for quick access to
spindle selection, test speed and other functions. The operator can now customize the display,
choosing which number appears larger on screen based on their operational preferences. And, the
DV1 now features the same lab stand found on Brookfield’s DV3T Rheometer and DV2T Viscometer,
providing plenty of room for sample placement. Optional Wingather SQ Software allows the user to
collect, analyze and record test data. Multiple tests can be compared graphically and the user can
export data files to Excel. The new DV1 Viscometer includes a USB output connection for a Dymo
Printer. The DV1 features direct access to time measurement functions (time to torque, time to stop).
This instrument can be ordered with the temperature measurement option.
