Spindle LV-5 is an optional spindle designed to increase measuring range. Spindles LV-2C and LV-3C are optional "cylindrical spindles" offering geometry for calculating shear rates.



MAGNETIC SPINDLE COUPLING OPTION**


Magnetic spindles with a special coupling system are also available. This option allows spindles to be quickly attached and removed, and may also help prevent against damage that can occur from frequent spindle changes or multiple users. Spindles can only be used with instruments purchased with magnetic spindle couple option or ones that have been retrofitted. Please contact Brookfield or an authorized dealer for details and part numbers.

**Note: Replacement magnetic spindles must be purchased for use with a DV2T EXTRA Viscometer.
