APPENDIX D1 - Spindle and Model Codes for Viscosity Tests
Each spindle has a two digit code which is entered using the SPDL key on the DV-III Ultra key pad.
The entry code allows the DV-III Ultra to calculate Viscosity, Shear Rate and Shear Stress values.
Each spindle has two constants which are used in these calculations. The Spindle Multiplier Constant
(SMC) used for viscosity calculations, and the Shear Rate Constant (SRC), used for shear rate and shear
stress calculations. Note that where SRC = 0, no shear rate/shear stress calculations are done and the
data displayed is zero (0) for these functions.
