Disc Spindles Provided as standard equipment with LV (spindles #2 and #3) and RV/HA/HB models (spindles #1 through #6), these are versatile general-purpose spindles for use in containers of 600ml capacity or larger. Before making a final selection we suggest that you confer with other people in your field to find out which Brookfield Viscometer model they are using for the type of work youre planning, so that your data can be correlated.
