The CAP 2000+ functions as a variable-speed characterization tool with the following core engineering baselines:
The system features an integrated Peltier plate available in two distinct thermal configurations:
Low-temperature models run from 5°C to 75°C .
Generally less than 1 mL (depending on the cone).

The "EEEE" error indicates your measurement is over range . The viscosity is too high for the current spindle/speed combination. To resolve, select a lower speed or a different cone spindle.
Running multi-speed verification tests to ensure the internal torque sensor responds accurately across its full scale. Troubleshooting Common CAP 2000+ Errors
The CAP 2000+ is a variable speed (5–1,000 RPM) cone and plate viscometer designed for medium to high shear rate measurements.
In the quiet, hum-filled laboratory of Visto-Coatings Inc. , Elias stared at a vat of deep crimson paint. It was supposed to be "Royal Burgundy," but the consistency looked more like cherry syrup than the thick, luxurious velvet the client demanded.

Choosing appropriate solvents to clean the cone and plate without degrading the structural integrity of the components. 4. Calibration and Verification
Regular maintenance is essential for accurate, reproducible data.
: Always verify that your power source matches the AC input voltage and frequency shown on the back of the viscometer head before connecting.
The CAP 2000+ can be controlled by a PC using the optional CAPCALC 32 software. This allows for: Automated, multi-step tests. Data logging and graphing of shear rate vs. viscosity. Flow curve analysis. 6. Conclusion The viscosity is too high for the current

Clean the cone and plate immediately after each test using an appropriate solvent.
Offers a broad shear rate range, extending from 10 sec⁻¹ to 13,300 sec⁻¹.
