CAP-2000+ Viscometer

DESCRIPTION

Precision CAP2000 Cone and Plate Viscometer for Moderate to High Shear Testing

The CAP2000+ Viscometer from Brookfield is a versatile instrument designed to handle a wide range of viscosity measurements under moderate to high shear conditions. With its expanded temperature and viscosity ranges, as well as variable speed capability, the CAP2000+ is ideal for both research and development (R&D) and detailed quality control (QC) testing.

KEY FEATURES:

• Variable Speed Control: Offers speeds ranging from 5 to 1000 rpm, making it suitable for various testing scenarios, from R&D to QC.
• Expanded Temperature Range: Built-in Peltier Plate allows precise temperature control, with two models available:
  • L Series: 5°C to 75°C
  • H Series: 50°C to 235°C
• Wide Shear Rate Range: Ideal for applications requiring small sample volumes and precise temperature control.
• User-Friendly Interface: The instrument features a keypad for direct input of test parameters and an easy-to-use control handle for accurate, automatic cone positioning.
• Automated PC Control: With the optional Capcalc software, automate data collection and control the viscometer, reducing operator error and saving time.
• 4-Line Display: Simultaneous viewing of all test parameters for streamlined operation.

VERSATILE APPLICATIONS:
The CAP2000+ Viscometer is designed to accommodate a wide range of applications, particularly where small sample volumes and precise control are essential. It is suitable for:

• Medium Viscosity Materials: Such as adhesives (hot melt), architectural coatings, autocoats, creams, food products, gels, inks (screen printing), industrial coatings, paints, resins, and UV coatings.
• High Viscosity Materials: Including adhesives, asphalt, chocolate, composite polymers, epoxies, and gels.

Automated Control and Data Analysis:
Capcalc Software (Optional): Enhance your CAP2000+ Viscometer by automating data capture and control. Capcalc allows for powerful scripting capabilities, looping functions for repetitive tasks, and math modeling for yield stress calculations and plastic index. Easily plot up to four data sets for comparison and analysis.
