Definition:
The Brookfield Synchro-Lectric Viscometer is an instrument used for measuring the viscosity of plastisols and other liquids of a thixotropic nature. The instrument measures the shearing stress on a spindle rotating at a definite, constant speed while immersed in the sample. The degree of spindle lag is indicated on a rotating dial. This reading multiplied by a conversion factor based on spindle size and rotational speed, gives a value for viscosity in centipoise. By taking measurements at different rotational speeds, an indication of the degree of thixotropy of the sample is obtained.
