Cone and Plate ViscometerThe versatility of the CAP 1000+ and CAP 2000+ makes these instruments a practical tool for any QC or R&D lab requiring quick and easy testing of materials, regardless of application, at high shear rates.

■ Provides for viscosity measurements at high shear rates■ LCD display of viscosity in Poise or Pascal-seconds■ Uses less than 2 ml of sample to avoid excess cleaning and

material costs■ Automatic viscosity range calibration and cone gap positio-

ning make the viscometer easy to use■ Set the viscometer to take a reading at different timed

intervals to ensure accuracy of results with thixotropic fluids

CAP 1000+■ Two available speeds to comply with all paint industry

standards worldwide (750 and 900 rpms), optional speed of 400 rpm upon request.

CAP 2000+■ Variable speed instrument with a speed range of 5 to 1,000

rpm (1 rpm increments) that allows for varying shear rates from 10 to 13,300 sec-1

■ Bi-directional RS-232 interface that allows for PC control with the optional CAPCALC 32 software

Comes complete with:Cone & Plate Viscometer1 cone – please specifyOperation manual

Note: Specify cone number when ordering. Will need to order the appropriate viscosity oil to calibrate the CAP viscometer.

Spindles for Cone and Plate Viscometers

1/23 CAP VersionCone and Plate ViscometerThe 1/23 CAPs are for lower shear applications such as auto- motive clear coats and base coats. Most methods are single point pass/fail criteria using No. 10 spindle at 100 rpm; a shear rate of 500 1/sec and measurement range from 22 – 220 cP is achieved.There are two instruments available:

■ 1000+L version with a fixed speed of 100 rpms■ 2000+L version with a speed range from 5 – 1000 rpms■ The multiple speed selection provides more flexibility to

modify test procedures.

■ Automates data collection■ Eliminates operator error when recording data■ Provides instantaneous viscosity flow curves (rheograms)

on easy-to-read graphs■ Creates a permanent record of each test■ Records up to 1000 data points per test■ Comparison data sets can be manually entered■ Saved data in Brookfield (text), Lotus 1-2-3, or Excel®■ Up to 6 data sets may be plotted simultaneously■ 12 Plot Types: – % FSR vs. RPM, Shear Rate, Time, Temperature – Viscosity vs. RPM, Shear Rate, Time, Temperature – Shear Stress vs. RPM, Shear Rate, Time, Temperature■ Yield Stress Calculations (Bingham Plastic, Casson, Chocolate

Casson), Power Law Consistency Index Calculations, Paste Analysis

■ On-line help system■ Data collection is provided via a powerful “scripting”

language for creating test programs
