Brookfield CAP2000 Viscometer

The Brookfield CAP2000 Viscometer is a high-precision cone-and-plate viscometer designed for both research and development (R&D) and quality control (QC) applications, offering versatile performance across moderate to high shear conditions. Its expanded viscosity and temperature ranges, along with variable speed capabilities, make it ideal for industries requiring accurate and reliable measurements under controlled conditions.

One of the key features of the Brookfield CAP2000 Viscometer is its variable speed control, ranging from 5 to 1000 RPM. This flexibility allows it to handle a wide spectrum of testing scenarios, from low-shear, low-viscosity fluids to high-shear, high-viscosity materials. The instrument includes a built-in Peltier plate that provides precise temperature regulation, available in two models: the L Series (5°C to 75°C) and the H Series (50°C to 235°C).

The viscometer is equipped with a user-friendly interface, featuring a keypad for direct input of test parameters and a control handle for accurate, automatic cone positioning. Additionally, the optional Capcalc software enables automated PC control, reducing operator error and saving time. Capcalc allows advanced data collection, scripting, looping for repetitive tasks, and modeling for yield stress and plastic index calculations.

The Brookfield CAP2000 Viscometer accommodates a wide range of applications. It is suitable for medium-viscosity materials such as hot-melt adhesives, architectural coatings, creams, food products, gels, screen-printing inks, industrial coatings, paints, resins, and UV coatings. For high-viscosity materials, it can measure adhesives, asphalt, chocolate, composite polymers, epoxies, and gels. The device supports both high-torque and low-torque cone spindles, with sample volumes ranging from 24 µL to 1700 µL, offering precision control over shear rates and viscosity measurements.

The viscometer’s robust design ensures long-term durability in demanding environments, making it a reliable choice for laboratories requiring rigorous testing standards. Its 4-line display allows simultaneous monitoring of all test parameters, streamlining operation and improving efficiency. With optional accessories like additional cone spindles and viscosity standards, users can further enhance testing capabilities.

In summary, the Brookfield CAP2000 Viscometer delivers precise, versatile, and automated viscosity measurement for a broad range of materials. Its combination of variable speed control, temperature regulation, automated data collection, and high accuracy makes it an ideal instrument for industries seeking reliable and reproducible results in R&D and QC applications.
