To save time, here is a reference for common tasks found in the official manual:
is a high-performance instrument specifically engineered for medium to high shear rate applications, such as testing adhesives, coatings, resins, and polymers. It utilizes a cone-and-plate geometry to provide precise viscosity measurements with a integrated temperature control system.
Bi-directional RS-232 interface for data management and control using optional CAPCALC32 software. 3. Quick Start Setup Guide (CAP 2000+) Proper setup is critical for accurate measurements.
is distinguished by its variable speed operational drive and high-shear capabilities. Below is an overview of its foundational parameters: BROOKFIELD CAP 2000+
: Never use metal objects to clean the plate, as scratches will compromise calibration.
Common errors and solutions:
Ensure the foam insert is removed, or the motor may experience errors.
: Connect the unit using the factory-provided 3-wire power cable to secure a dedicated earth ground connection.
Since the CAP 2000 has been updated to the CAP 2000+ model over the years, Brookfield (now AMETEK Brookfield) houses the manual under the current product listing.
Periodically check the calibration using certified Brookfield Viscosity Standards . 4. Troubleshooting Common Issues
Select the rotational speed (RPM) and start the measurement. The unit will display centipoise (cP) or mPa·s. III. Maintenance
