Brookfield Viscosity Standards

Brookfield viscosity standards are certified fluids used to verify the performance and calibration of viscometers and rheometers. Their known values make it possible to confirm that the instrument provides accurate and repeatable results.

These Newtonian fluids provide an accuracy of ±1% of the stated viscosity value and are supplied with a calibration certificate. The methods used for their certification are traceable to the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Brookfield offers silicone and oil standards in different viscosity values and calibration temperatures. The appropriate standard must be selected according to the instrument type, measurement range and temperature used during verification.
