Table of Vanes for the RST-SST Soft Solids Tester
All standard vanes supplied for the Soft Solids Tester have a height (H) to diameter (D) ratio of 2:1.
The constants for the standard vanes are as follows:
Vane Height [mm] Diameter [mm] Shear Stress [Pa]
VT-10-5 10 5
330 … 210,000
VT-20-10 20 10
41 … 27,000
VT-20-20 20 20
9 … 5,900
VT-30-15 30 15
12 … 8,000
VT-40-20 40 20
5.2 … 3,400
VT-40-40 40 40
1.2 … 740
VT-50-25 50 25
2.7 … 1,700
VT-60-8 60 8
24 … 15,000
VT-60-15 60 15
7 … 4,300
VT-60-30 60 30
1.6 … 1,000
VT-80-40 80 40
0.7 … 420
VT-80-70 80 70
0.2 … 120
The vanes pre-loaded into the Rheo3000 software assume a ratio of 3:1 (container-to-vane diameter). If
you use vane/container combinations that don’t match this select an appropriate value from the following
table:
Container to Vane Diameter Ratio
Shear Rate Constant K
�
1,5 : 1 0,3763
2 : 1 0,2792
3 : 1 0,2355
4 : 1 0,2234
5 : 1 0,2181
b : 1
0,2094
It may be possible to use a vane spindle with the MB measuring chamber. This combination can be used
to measure flurries (fluids with suspended particles). Contact Brookfield or your authorized deaer for more
information.
