To our customers,

This past year, we have focused on the importance of quality improvements, both in our internal procedures and in our products. For instance, we introduced a new look and added more options, including enhanced electronics and data output, with the launch of our new DV-I Prime Viscometer. In addition, our popular AST-100 In-line Viscometers are now available in a flange mount design for convenient mounting and also in a probe style for insertion into tanks from above. We also introduced two new time-saving options for our digital viscometer line: our Quick Action Lab Stand moves viscometers up and down the lab stand with a push of a button while the EZ-Lock Spindle Coupling System allows operators the convenience of quickly attaching spindles without the need of threading.

We continue to look forward to providing you with improved measurement systems. Coming in 2008, a new Texture Analyzer with tension and compression capabilities normally found in much higher priced instruments will be introduced. Also coming soon, one of our most popular instruments will get a new look, and we are also excited about the debut of a new robust viscometer that can stand on its own in just about any industrial environment. Be sure to check our website for the introduction of these exciting new instruments in 2008.

BROOKFIELD VISCOMETERS & RHEOMETERS

Why measure viscosity?The ability to gather data on a material’s viscosity behavior gives manufacturers an important “product dimension.” Knowledge of a material’s rheological characteristics is valuable in predicting its pourability, its performance in a dipping or coating operation, or the ease with which it may be handled, processed, or used. The interrelation between rheology and other product dimensions often makes the measurement of viscosity the most sensitive or convenient way of detecting changes in color, density, stability, solids content, and molecular weight.

Why Choose Brookfield?Ease of use, flexibility, reliable performance and quality of service have made Brookfield Viscometers favorites all over the world. All Brookfield Viscometers are accurate within ±1.0% of the range in use and have a reproducibility within ±0.�%. Test results can be duplicated anywhere in the world when the same model instrument is used.

The difficulty with viscosity measurements of hot melts and liquids at elevated temperatures has been in maintaining accurate temperature control that is consistent from sample to sample so that meaningful data could be obtained. The Brookfield Thermosel solves this problem by providing a stable, precisely controlled sample environment. This, together with the inherent accuracy of the Brookfield Viscometers, is fundamental to the Thermosel System, which produces viscosity measurements that are not only accurate but entirely reproducible. Several factors contribute to the stable environment: Non-fluctuating temperature control Small sample volume and insulated sample chamber which reduces temperature gradients within the sample The rotating spindle, which acts as a built-in stirring device The test procedure is quite straightforward. Once familiar with the system, unskilled operators can easily produce accurate, reproducible data.

BROOKFIELD ACCESSORIES

Small Sample Adapter for rheological evaluation where sample volume is limited

The Small Sample Adapter provides a defined geometry system for accurate viscosity measurements at precise shear rates. Consisting of a cylindrical sample chamber and spindle, the Small Sample Adapter is designed to measure small sample volumes of 2 to 16 mL, and easily attaches to all standard Brookfield Viscometers/Rheometers. Removable Sample Chamber The design of the Small Sample Adapter allows the sample chamber to be easily changed and cleaned without disturbing the set-up of the viscometer or temperature bath. This means that successive measurements can be made under identical conditions. Temperature Control The sample chamber fits into a water jacket so that precise temperature control can be achieved when the Brookfield circulating temperature bath is used. The stirring action of the rotating spindle, plus the small sample volume, helps to keep the temperature gradient across the sample to a minimum. Direct readout of sample temperature is provided using sample chambers with optional embedded RTD sensor connected to the DV-I Prime and DV-II+Pro Viscometers and the DV-III Ultra Rheometer. Working temperature range for the Small Sample Adapter is from –15°C to 100°C. Cylindrical Geometry The Small Sample Adapter’s coaxial cylinder geometry provides extremely accurate viscosity measurements at defined shear rates. Disposable Sample Chambers Disposable 13R chambers, for hard-to-clean materials, are available in a kit that comes complete with 100 chambers and special-sized water jacket (Part No. SSA-DCU).

Reduces measuring range to as low as 1 cP, depending on viscometer used Simple attachment to a standard Brookfield Viscometer or DV-III Ultra Rheometer Small sample size: 16 mL Cylindrical geometry provides defined shear rates for detailed product analysis Removable cap of low density polyethylene can be considered disposable for one-time use if required Stainless steel parts are easily cleaned


The 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.

Enhanced UL Adapter ideal for low viscosity materials

Detail of UL Adapter: 1. Locating Channel Assembly, 2. Water Jacket, 3. Chamber Tube, 4. Collar with thumbwheel, 5. Tube End Cap, 6. Spindle with universal coupling

Quick & Easy Design Saves TimeQuick & easy attachment of spindle: Longer coupling nut for better grip and twist action to connect spindle to viscometer. Redesigned bracket for attaching ULA assembly to viscometer. Provides more clearance for finger grip on coupling nut.

Quick & easy removal of chamber: Simply loosen thumbwheel, chamber slides down and out. Permits rapid testing of multiple samples by swapping out chambers. Choice of leaving spindle attached to viscometer or disconnecting spindle and removing it with chamber. Water jacket sleeve remains in place attached to viscometer while chamber and/or spindle only are removed. Saves set up time for the operator.

Unique ULA Assembly Design Provides Multiple Benefits: Sturdy collar attaches to locating channel assembly which is connected to viscometer pivot cup. Sample chamber is held firmly in place by the collar which provides proper alignment for the spindle rotation within the chamber. Universal coupling nut on spindle ensures firm connection with viscometer and automatic self-centering of spindle in chamber during rotation. Direct immersion of chamber in temperature bath is quick and easy. Water jacket grips slide over collar and operator manually aligns the collar/jacket assembly to allow easy insertion of chamber containing sample to be tested.

For viscosity/consistency measurement of gels, pastes, creams, putty, gelatin and other non-flowing substances. 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 DV-III Ultra Rheometers Simple to set up and clean Provides a solution for hard-to-measure materials Complete with drive motor, 6 T-bar spindles with coupling, case, lab stand, rod and base

Helipath Stand designed for measurement of non-flowing substances

The Helipath Stand can be used with any standard Brookfield Viscometer model, and is supplied complete with a set of six T-bar spindles and a special coupling.

BROOKFIELD TEXTURE ANALYZERS

What is texture analysis?Texture analysis is primarily concerned with the evaluation of mechanical characteristics where a material is subjected to a controlled force from which a deformation curve of its response is generated. These mechanical characteristics in food can be further sub-divided into primary and secondary sensory characteristics which have proven to be correlated to sensory perception.

LFRA R&D materials tester for compression and tension methods

QTS-25

Consumer products succeed in the marketplace in part because their “textural characteristics” are pleasing to customers. This is certainly true with food products but it also applies to cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, packaging, industrial materials and even adhesive type materials.

Why Choose Brookfield?Brookfield has over 70 years experience in providing reliable, low cost viscosity measuring instruments while offering high quality product support. We are now using this recipe for success to expand our line of physical testing products to include texture analyzers.

Brookfield’s redesign of the LFRA enhances the load capacity and test speeds of the old model, which evolved from the Stevens range of Texture Analyzers and further back to the Boucher Jelly Tester.

The Brookfield Texture Division provides customers with a complete texture assessment service. We specialize in the development of novel and innovative test applications and accessories for solid and semi-solid materials, enabling our customers to maximize the practical value of their texture studies within all test environments.

Utilizing simple compression or tension forces, we are able to imitate almost all conditions imposed during the manufacture or handling of a wide range of foods, industrial materials and personal care products. Such measures provide a “real life” insight into the physical properties of a product, often invaluable in maintaining consistent quality manufacture while minimizing rejects in production.

The key to successful quality control is designing effective viscosity test methods. Our Methodology Consulting Service brings a Brookfield consulting engineer to your facility to review and recommend appropriate test methods for your materials. We will work with you to define acceptable viscosity behavior taking into consideration relevant shear rates, shear stresses, temperature and time sensitivity issues.


For your viscometers and rheometers, we will inspect your instrument for wear, clean, adjust and lubricate the internal mechanisms, replace part of the sensing system element (the pivot

support assembly and, when required, the pointer shaft), and check your spindles. Spindles that are returned to a Brookfield Service Center are also straightened if necessary. In addition to this maintenance, we calibrate and certify in writing that your instrument is operating within proper Brookfield specifications. This certification states that your instrument has been calibrated against standards which are traceable to the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST). This is becoming an increasingly important requirement as industry throughout the world takes steps to comply with ISO 9000 regulations.

For texture analyzers, we also inspect for wear, clean, adjust and lubricate internal mechanisms, and adjust, if necessary, the zero and span for proper load cell performance. Certified calibration weights can be purchased for your texture analyzer.

…for long life and optimal performance of your Viscometer, Rheometer and Texture Analyzer

Torque %the amount of torque resistance measured by a rotating spindle immersed in a material.

Yield Stressthe amount of force required to cause amaterial to flow.

Texture Analysis GlossaryCompression Testingthe sample is “compressed” with a probe of greater surface area to that of the sample.

Deformation the change in height of a sample whena force is applied.

Extrusion Testingthe sample is compressed until flow commences through an outlet. Texture analysis utilizes both forward (forced through an aperture) and backward extrusion (forced back around the compressing probe).

Penetration Testingthe sample is “penetrated” with a probe of smaller surface area than that of the sample. This creates both shear and compression forces within the sample and provides a good indication of product hardness and consistency.

Shear Testingblades or wires are utilized to cut through the sample and evaluate cross-sectioned characteristics using a combination of compression, shear and tearing forces dependant upon the geometry of the cutting fixture.

Snap Testingused to assess the fracture and bendcharacteristics of solid materials supportedat either end and compressed in its center.

Stress Relaxationsample is compressed to a target distance and held for a period of time. The sample relaxes under constant stress and the rate and degree of relaxation is used to evaluate sample elasticity, freshness, etc.

Tension Testingthe sample is fixed to both the base and the traveling beam of the texture analyzer and “stretched” via an upward movement.
