Brookfield Ametek ClamP Assembly Spiral Adapter SA-5Y

The Spiral Adapter is a Pump-type Sensor that directly measures Viscosity of heavy paste-like materials and non-flowing products.

Provides variable shear rates for detecting pseudoplastic and thixotropic behavior when used with standard Brookfield Ametek Viscometers and the DV-III Ultra Rheometer. The Spiral Adapter has an inner, threaded spindle surrounded by a concentric outer cylinder. This combination causes the sample to be continually pumped up through the Spiral Adapter.
The material reaches a steady state of flow during which viscosity is measured. The steady-state measurement is less sensitive to sample handling and minor material variations than other viscosity measuring methods.

At its various rotating speeds, the Brookfield Ametek Viscometer/Rheometer provides viscosity data at different shear rates. The resulting rheogram from an up/down speed ramp supplies important information on the psuedoplastic and thixotropic behavior of the test material.

Main Benefits:

• Performs measurements compatible with industry specifications
• Provides viscosity data that show pseudoplastic and thixotropic properties of test samples
• Delivers repeatable measurements within ±2%
• Works with any standard Brookfield Ametek Viscometer/Rheometer
• Simple and fast to operate; easy to clean
• Optional software computes shear sensitivity factorAPPLICATIONS

Applications:Foods, Solder Paste, Cosmetics, Pharmaceuticals and other paste-like materials.
