Page 22 - AMETEK BROOKFIELD Viscometer

Helipath

Designed for measurement of non-flowing substances

For viscosity/consistency measurement of gels, pastes, creams,
putty, gelatin, and other non-flowing substances, an AMETEK
Brookfield Viscometer or Rheometer is mounted on the Helipath
drive motor and a T-bar spindle is attached to the viscometer
using a special threaded or magnetic coupling.

The drive motor slowly lowers or raises the viscometer at a rate
of 22.2 mm/s so that the T-bar spindle creates a helical path
through the test sample, thus eliminating the problem of
“channeling”.

Compatible with all AMETEK Brookfield
viscometers and DVNext 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

Magnetic Coupling Option

Helipath Stand is now available with Magnetic Spindle
Coupling Option, allowing spindles to be quickly attached
and removed, and preventing damage that can occur from
frequent spindle changes or multiple users.
