It is recommended to remove the cone for cleaning, although it can be cleaned in place with extreme care.
Set the viscometer on a clean, level bench surface.
The official manual for the Brookfield CAP 2000+ Viscometer is available directly from the manufacturer, AMETEK Brookfield 📄 Official Manual Links Brookfield CAP 2000+ Operations Manual (PDF)
Select the appropriate cone spindle based on expected viscosity and shear rate. The solvent trap must be secured on the shaft. cap 2000 viscometer manual link
Before plugging anything in, you must prepare a safe workspace.
A 4-line display allows simultaneous viewing of all test parameters, including viscosity (cP, P, mPa·s, or Pa·s), temperature (°C), and shear rate ( Core Applications
Lower the handle to place the sample on the plate, ensuring no air bubbles are trapped. Do not force the cone onto the plate. It is recommended to remove the cone for
Centipoise (cP), Poise (P), milliPascal-seconds (mPa⋅s), or Pascal-seconds (Pa⋅s).

Never use harsh abrasives on the cone or plate. Proper solvent usage is essential. The solvent trap must be secured on the shaft
(often caused by air bubbles or incorrect gap settings).
The CAP 2000+ offers variable speed, allowing it to operate between . Its primary advantage is integrated temperature control, enabling measurements at specific temperatures between ambient (or lower) and up to 235°C, depending on the model. Key Features: Variable Speed: 5 to 1000 RPM. Cone and Plate Geometry: Small sample volume required.
