Brookfield Engineering

Broookfield Engineering, based in Middleboro, Massachusetts [http://www.brookfieldengineering.com/company/locations.asp] [http://hoovers.com/free/search/simple/xmillion/index.xhtml?query_string=Brookfield+Engineering&which=company&page=1&search_x=26&search_y=11] , is a leading manufacturer of Viscometers, Rheometers and Texture Analyzers for laboratory and on-line process control applications.

All Brookfield viscometers employ the well-known principle of rotational viscometry. The viscosity of a product is determined by the amount of torque that is required for a spindle to rotate at a constant speed while immersed in a fluid. This amount of torque is proportional to the viscous drag on the immersed spindle, and thus to the viscosity of the fluid.
