Abstract
The Brookfield Viscometer is described and its use in rheological measurements is analyzed and discussed. The significance of spindle shape and rotational speed for different types of viscoelastic fluids is determined. Methods for using this viscometer to obtain the greatest amount of significant information are defined.
