Maximise your viscosity and texture
measurements.
Brookfield offers three courses that provide users of Brookfield instrumentation with the hands-on knowledge to get the most out of their viscosity and texture test methods
These day-long training sessions are presented in easy-to-understand terms that give attendees the working know-how to verify and improve upon the data required for meaningful R+D and successful QC testing These courses are offered at Brookfield's facility in Middleboro, MA, USA, and at major metropolitan areas across the USA

Variable speed cone and plate viscometer
Offers a viscosity range from 5 to 1000 Poise, lower shear rates from 10sec-1 to 13,000sec-1, and an expanded temperature range from 5C to 235C
Viscometer can be computer controlled
New bi-directional communication between a dedicated computer and the instrument simplifies operation of popular viscometer
Arrangements can also be made to conduct the course at customers' facilities where content can be adapted to their specific product applications.
Practical course on viscosity measurements provides attendees with the tools and concepts they need to make the most precise viscosity measurements possible.
The course is designed to benefit operators at all levels of experience.
Participants are encouraged to bring product samples for testing where hands-on time is provided in a relaxed laboratory environment.
Applied course on viscosity test methods is designed for the intermediate to advanced Brookfield Instrumentation user in R+D, analytical, and process engineering functions.
Focusing on test methods and techniques, it will review and discuss how Brookfield rotational viscometers and rheometers can be used to provide meaningful product analysis.
The course takes you beyond pass/fail criteria, to an understanding of how to apply viscometric data as a problem solving and product performance/processing tool.
Practical course on texture analysis provides attendees with the technical training they need to meet their method development and application needs.
Theoretical knowledge and lots of hands-on exercises provide attendees with techniques, methods and valuable industry know-how.
Principles of texture analysis, correlation to sensory perception, texture instrumentation and accessories and an introduction to TexturePro software are all included. Request a free brochure from Brookfield Engineering Laboratories ...
Attendees will also receive a copy of professor Malcolm Bourne's latest book entitled Food Texture and Viscosity, Concept and Measurement.
