STANDARD CALIBRATION FOR A BROOKFIELD LABORATORY VISCOMETER

Note: This operation can only be performed by an authorized Brookfield representative

Whenever you send us your viscometer for re-calibration, or during a field service call, we will perform the following operations:

  • A general inspection: shaft straightness, motor and gear box (where applicable), pivot point and jewel bearing status;
  • A reading is taken and compared against our Master Viscometer; Before Calibration Data is collected;
  • The pivot point and pivot point support (known as jewel bearing) are replaced;
  • The unit is cleaned (including all bearings) and oiled/greased;
  • The unit is calibrated and tested;
  • A Certificate of Calibration is issued; the Certificate includes the Before and After Calibration Data;
  • Any accessories shipped with the unit are inspected, e.g. spindles for straightness.

We recommend re-calibration of the viscometer if one of the following is true:
- one year has elapsed since the last re-calibration;
- it fails the periodical calibration check using the Brookfield Standard fluid.

For more information or to arrange for your unit to be sent in, please call our Service Department at 905-829-0030 (Toll free 1-800-215-4469).
