Viscometers and Rheometers - Brookfield

Helipath Stand

The Brookfield Helipath™ Stand, when used with a suitable Brookfield Viscometer/Rheometer fitted with a special T-bar type spindle, will permit viscosity/consistency measurements in relative centipoise values for materials having characteristics similar to paste, putty, cream, gelatin, or wax.

 

Many substances, because of the nature of their yield values, have been considered unsuitable for viscosity or consistency measurements with rotational viscometers.

 

Any rotating spindle, be it cylinder, disc, or paddle, will create a channel in such substances and after a very short time exert a negligible and meaningless torque on any sensing device.

This effect also occurs with materials that have a gel structure

 

Helipath™ Stand is available also with the magnetic coupling.

  • A Brookfield Viscometer or Rheometer is mounted on the Helipath drive motor and a T-bar spindle is attached to the viscometer using a special coupling. The drive motor slowly lowers or raises the viscometer so that the T-bar spindle creates a helical path through the test sample thus eliminating the problem of “channeling”.
  • Compatible with standard Brookfield Viscometers and DVNext Rheometers
  • Simple to set up and clean
  • Provides a solution for hard-to-measure materials
  • T-Bar Spindles
  • Can be used with any standard Brookfield Viscometer and is supplied complete with a set of six T-bar spindles and a special coupling.
