Cone and Plate Vis­come­ter

The 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 posi­tion­ing 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)

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 Vis­come­ter
1 cone – please spe­c­ify
Oper­a­tion man­ual

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

Spin­dles for Cone and Plate Vis­come­ters

1/23 CAP Ver­sion

Cone and Plate Vis­come­ter

The 1/23 CAPs are for lower shear appli­ca­tions such as auto­mo­tive 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 2000+L ver­sion with the mul­ti­ple speed selec­tion pro­vides more flex­i­bil­ity to mod­ify test pro­ce­dures.
