Digital & Analog Brookfield Viscometers for Every Lab
Brookfield viscometers give modern laboratories full control over fluid behavior, from ultra‑low‑viscosity inks and oils to heavy pastes and asphalts. Through Gemicatech, an authorized Brookfield distributor in Egypt, you can choose from a complete range of instruments—each optimized for specific viscosity ranges, applications, and workflows. This group includes the DVPlus Viscometer, DV2T Touch Screen Viscometer, Dial Reading Viscometer, CAP2000+ Viscometer, and KU‑3 Viscometer, all supported by local technical expertise and service.
Brookfield DVPlus Viscometer – Smart, Budget‑Friendly Touchscreen Viscosity
The Brookfield DVPlus Viscometer is AMETEK Brookfield’s latest budget‑friendly addition to its high‑performance viscometer series, ideal for labs that want digital precision without a premium price tag. It features a 5‑inch full‑color touchscreen with an enhanced user interface, real‑time trend indicators, and multi‑language support, making it very easy to operate.
DVPlus displays viscosity (cP, mPa∙s, P, Pa∙s), temperature (°C/°F/K), torque, and speed/spindle alongside test data, so operators see all critical information at a glance. With 740 speeds, ±1.0% accuracy, ±0.2% repeatability, automatic range calculation, and time‑to‑torque/time‑to‑temperature functions, it delivers strong performance in pharmaceuticals, oil & gas, food & beverages, cosmetics, and energy & environment labs. Optional accessories such as the DVPlus Connect app, magnetic spindle coupling, small sample adapter, UL adapter, Thermosel, and temperature bath help tailor the system to your exact application.
Brookfield DV2T Touch Screen Viscometer – Versatile, Programmable Viscosity Control
The Brookfield DV2T Touch Screen Viscometer is one of Brookfield’s most popular models, designed for labs that need both routine QC testing and advanced programmable methods. Its 5‑inch color touch screen guides users step‑by‑step through test creation and data collection, making precise viscosity measurements fast and intuitive.
DV2T provides real‑time display of viscosity, temperature, shear rate/stress, % torque, spindle/speed, and step program status, with built‑in functions for timed tests, data averaging, programmable QC limits and alarms, custom speed/spindle lists, and on‑screen data comparison. Auto‑range shows the maximum measurable viscosity for any spindle/speed combination, and USB PC interface enables optional computer control and automatic data gathering, especially when combined with DV360 / Rheocalc software.
Available LV, RV, HA, and HB models cover viscosities from 1 cP up to 320M cP, with 0.1–200 rpm and 200 speed increments across the range. Each DV2T package includes the instrument, spindles, PG Flash software, RTD temperature probe, lab stand, carrying case, and more, with extensive accessories like small sample adapter, UL adapter, Thermosel heater, DIN adapter, spiral adapter, vane spindles, and ball‑bearing suspension available for demanding applications.
Brookfield Dial Reading Viscometer – Classic Analog Performance
The Brookfield Dial Reading Viscometer has been a global lab standard since 1934 and remains the go‑to analog instrument for routine viscosity measurements. Modern models are equipped with a multi‑speed electronic drive and ergonomic speed control knob, allowing quick selection of preset speeds while maintaining very quiet operation.
This viscometer offers continuous torque sensing with 1% full‑scale torque accuracy and 0.2% repeatability, delivering reliable results across repeated tests. LV, RV, HA, and HB spring ranges make it suitable for low‑viscosity fluids (inks, oils, solvents), medium‑viscosity products (creams, foods, paints), higher‑viscosity materials (gels, chocolate, epoxies), and very high‑viscosity products (asphalt, caulking compounds, molasses).
Because it is compatible with the full Brookfield accessory portfolio—small sample adapter, UL adapter, Thermosel heater, DIN adapter, spiral adapter, vane spindles, temperature bath, and more—the Dial Reading Viscometer can be customized for a wide variety of industries and standards.
Brookfield CAP2000+ Viscometer – High‑Shear Cone & Plate for Small Samples
The Brookfield CAP2000 Viscometer (CAP2000+) is a precision cone‑and‑plate viscometer engineered for moderate to high shear testing, especially where small sample volume and accurate temperature control are critical. It offers variable speed control from 5 to 1000 rpm and uses a built‑in Peltier plate for precise temperature regulation in both L (5–75 °C) and H (50–235 °C) configurations.
With high‑torque and low‑torque cone options, CAP2000+ covers a wide viscosity range in microliter‑scale samples, making it ideal for adhesives (including hot melt), architectural and industrial coatings, creams, food products, inks, resins, UV coatings, asphalt, composite polymers, epoxies, and gels. A keypad for direct parameter input, easy‑to‑use control handle for automatic cone positioning, and 4‑line display for simultaneous parameter viewing make it practical in both busy QC labs and R&D environments. Optional Capcalc software automates data capture, supports scripting and looping, and enables yield stress and plastic index calculations with multi‑curve comparison.
Brookfield KU‑3 Viscometer – Digital Krebs Standard for Paints & Coatings
The Brookfield KU‑3 Viscometer is the industry standard for measuring the viscosity of paints, coatings, adhesives, and inks in Krebs Units (KU), grams, and centipoise in accordance with ASTM D562. It combines a fully digital LED display with magnetic spindle coupling to deliver accurate readings and easy handling in coatings labs.
KU‑3 offers continuous sensing with 0.1 KU and 1‑gram resolution across 40–141 KU, 32–1099 g, and 27–5274 cP, with ±1% accuracy and ±0.5% reproducibility of the full‑scale range. Its base accommodates standard pint, half‑pint, and quart cans, allowing direct testing in typical paint containers, and an optional paste spindle extends capability to high‑consistency materials such as roller mill pastes. NIST‑traceable Krebs viscosity standards are available for calibration and verification, helping you maintain compliance and consistency across production batches.
