Features & Benefits

  • Ideal for low viscosity materials

  • Stainless steel parts are easily cleaned

  • Removable cap of low density polyethylene can be considered disposable for one-time use if required

  • Reduces measuring range to as low as 1 cP, depending on viscometer used

  • Small sample size: 16 mL

  • Simple attachment to a standard Brookfield Viscometer or DV-III Ultra Rheometer

  • Cylindrical geometry provides defined shear rates for detailed product analysis

The NEW, Enhanced Brookfield UL Adapter is used with any standard Brookfield Viscometer and Rheometer to make accurate and reproducible measurements on low viscosity materials. Newtonian and non-Newtonian materials can be measured. It is most commonly used with the LV series instrument (at 60 rpm, these models have a full scale range of 1-10 cP with the UL Adapter). The UL Adapter consists of a precision cylindrical spindle rotating inside an accurately machined tube. Its rheologically correct cylindrical geometry provides extremely accurate viscosity measurements and shear rate determinations. The tube has a removable end cap which allows the open ended tube to be used in a beaker or tank. With the cap in place, the closed tube can be immersed in a temperature bath or used with the ULA-40Y water jacket for precise temperature control. Working temperature range is from -15 °C to 100 °C.

Why replace your current UL Adapter?
The new design saves a significant amount of time on set up and tear down of equipment The new spindle, with universal connector, is easier to thread onto the viscometer The entire assembly can remain in place between tests with only the chamber being removed to prepare the next sample for testing.
