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 selec-
tion 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.
