Cone and plate viscometer. (Instruments).


The CAP 1000+ viscometer viscometer

Instrument for measuring the viscosity (resistance to internal flow) of a fluid. In one type, the time taken for a given volume of fluid to flow through an opening is recorded.
 is said to provide fast, easy, repetitive testing of very small samples (< 1mL) on the production floor or in the quality control laboratory. This cone and plate, single point viscosity measuring instrument is said to feature rapid temperature control for sample conditioning without the need for external temperature baths. The CAP 1000+ viscometer can be custom configured con·fig·ure

To design, arrange, set up, or shape with a view to specific applications or uses:
 for the specific viscosity ranges which meet user requirements. The user specifies the speed or shear rate Shear rate is a measure of the rate of shear deformation:



For the simple shear case, it is just a gradient of velocity in a flowing material.
, the appropriate viscosity range and the temperature that best suits the application, then the company will select the appropriate spindle spindle: see spinning.

 to measure the material. While the compact size of the CAP 1000+ is said to fit easily on any test bench, the rugged deisgn is said to be equally at home near the production line or in the quality control laboratory, according to according to
