Brookfield Engineering introduces Calcalc32 Software, a powerful new tool for use with Brookfields Cap2000+ cone and plate viscometers
Brookfields Cap2000+ is a variable speed (5-1000rpm) instrument ideal for R+D as well as more detailed QC testing.
This new version of Capcalc32 features test wizards that make setting up and running tests easier than ever.
Once setup, at the push of a button the program can be run completely and correctly, avoiding costly errors.
Test wizards can be used to setup a variety of tests including:.
Time to stop - collects a number of data points at one speed.
Time to torque - collects data until a target torque is reached.
Ramp - collects data at several different speeds.
Temperature profile - collects data at several different temperatures.
Curing - characterises curing behavior using a series of speeds.
Thix Index - calculates thixotropic index using two speeds.
Capcalc32 also features several new Beavis commands including Conditional Loop (repeating the commands until one of the chosen conditions is met), Reporting Options (choose actions such as graphing, printing, exporting and analysis to be carried out automatically), Data Averaging (average a given number of points over a given time interval), and Set Spindle (user will be prompted to attach the correct spindle at the beginning of the test, and all calculations will be based on this spindle).
Capcalc32 has an attractive new interface with menus, toolbars, and dockable control windows that can be resized and moved to create a custom display, and a new plot component with a second Y-axis for more plotting and display options.
