Brookfield recommends periodically checking the instrument’s accuracy using a (oil). The procedure is:
Accurate viscosity data relies heavily on consistent sample loading technique. The manual provides a definitive protocol: cap 2000 viscometer manual link
The CAP 2000+ series includes models designed for different viscosity and temperature applications. (often caused by air bubbles or incorrect gap settings)
