Brookfield CAP2000 Viscometer - Manual (Page 5)

Brookfield Engineering Labs., Inc. Page 5 Manual No. M02-313-G0812
I. INTRODUCTION
The CAP 2000+ Series Viscometers are medium to high shear rate instruments with Cone
Plate geometry and integrated temperature control of the test sample material. Rotational
speed selection ranges from 5 to 1000 RPM. Viscosity measurement ranges depend upon the
cone spindle and the rotational 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 2000+ Viscometer can display either CGS or SI units:
