Brookfield CAP2000 Viscometer

The Brookfield CAP2000 Viscometer is a precision cone-and-plate viscometer specifically designed for moderate to high shear rate testing. It is an advanced and versatile instrument that meets the needs of both research and development (R&D) laboratories and quality control (QC) environments. With its ability to handle small sample volumes, wide viscosity ranges, and accurate temperature control, the CAP2000+ provides reliable and repeatable viscosity measurements across many industries.

One of the main advantages of the Brookfield CAP2000 Viscometer is its variable speed control, offering a broad range from 5 to 1000 rpm. This flexibility allows users to perform detailed shear-dependent viscosity analysis, making it suitable for both routine QC checks and advanced material characterization. The instrument also features a wide shear rate range, ideal for applications where precise control and consistency are critical.

Temperature control is another key strength of the CAP2000+. It is equipped with a built-in Peltier plate that ensures accurate and stable temperature regulation. Two temperature models are available: the L Series (5°C to 75°C) and the H Series (50°C to 235°C), allowing the instrument to support a wide range of testing conditions, including high-temperature materials such as hot-melt adhesives and asphalt.

The viscometer is designed with ease of use in mind. It includes a user-friendly keypad for direct input of test parameters, a control handle for automatic and precise cone positioning, and a clear 4-line display that allows users to view all critical test parameters simultaneously. For laboratories seeking automation and improved efficiency, the optional Capcalc software enables full PC control, automated data collection, scripting, looping functions, and advanced math modeling for yield stress and plastic index calculations.

The Brookfield CAP2000 Viscometer supports a wide variety of applications. It is suitable for medium-viscosity materials such as paints, coatings, inks, food products, creams, gels, and resins, as well as high-viscosity materials including epoxies, composite polymers, chocolate, and asphalt. Multiple cone spindle options (CAP01–CAP10) allow users to cover extensive viscosity and shear rate ranges using very small sample volumes.

Built with a robust and durable design, the CAP2000+ is engineered for long-term use in demanding laboratory environments. It offers precise performance, automated efficiency, and application versatility, making it a reliable solution for industries that require accurate, repeatable, and high-shear viscosity measurements.
