CAP2000 Viscometer
Brookfield's CAP-2000+ offers expanded temperature and viscosity ranges with variable speed capability. The CAP2000+ also offers lower shear rates, making it suitable for many applications where small sample volume and good temperature control are necessary. And the rugged, easy-to-use design make it perfect in environments where other instruments won't last.
