Variable speed viscometer. (Instruments).


The CAP 2000+ 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.

The CAP 2000+ viscometer offers a viscosity range from 5 to 1,000 poise. lower shear rates 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 redesigned CAP 2000+ also features a simpler, user-friendly interface and a space saving smaller footprint. The open access configuration makes sample prep and clean up simple and quick, according to according to
