I. INtRODUCtION
The CAP 1000+ Series Viscometers are high shear rate instruments with Cone Plate geometry
and integrated temperature control of the test sample material. Rotational speeds include 750
RPM and 900 RPM. Viscosity measurement ranges depend upon the cone spindle and the ro-
tational speed (shear rate). Viscosity is selectively displayed in units of centipoise (cP), poise
(P), milliPascal seconds (mPa•s) or Pascal seconds (Pa•s). Temperature control of sample is
possible between either 5°C (or 15°C below ambient, whichever is higher) and 75°C or 50°C
and 235°C depending on viscometer model.
The CAP 1000+ can also be ordered with a single, customized speed between 5 and 1000 rpm.
In this case, the CAP 1000+ can offer, when necessary, low shear rate capability.
The CAP 1000+ Viscometer can display either CGS or SI units:
