Vane Spindle Set

includes 3 vane spindles

and storage case

Part No. SSVANE

(empty slot)

Vane spindles can be used with any standard Brookeld Viscometer/Rheometer. V-71, V-72, and V-73 are

supplied in the Vane Spindle Set (Part No. SSVANE). The V-74 and V-75 spindles are optional extras. The

small size of the V-74 vane spindle is ideal for testing small sample sizes and tting into sample containers

with small openings. However, limited surface area for spindle measurement geometry may make it more

challenging to obtain repeatable shear stress and viscosity values.

Note: Sample container diameter should be at least twice (2x) the vane

diameter when possible. Sample container depth should provide

clearance, at the bottom, greater than or equal to vane spindle

diameter when possible.
