You can also determine FSR for any speed selection that is not in the above tables by doing a
simple calculation:
• For Low Torque CAP instruments:
Cone range constant / (22.7 * N) = FSR (Poise) where N = RPM
• For High Torque CAP instruments:
Cone range constant / N = FSR (Poise) where N = RPM
The last column in the above tables shows this calculation.
III.2 Accuracy of Viscosity and Temperature
The following tables indicate the accuracy of the viscosity measurement for the CAP 2000+
Viscometer using CAP spindles 01-10. This accuracy depends on both the rotational speed of the
cone and the percent of Full Scale Range (%FSR) in Poise at which the viscosity is measured.
Accuracy is stated in Poise (P) and is calculated as a % of the FSR viscosity.
To calculate accuracy:
• Determine FSR viscosity in Poise for the torque model, cone spindle, and speed of rotation,
using the information in Tables III-1 or III-2.
• Find the column that best denes the speed of rotation used for the measurement and your
reported % FSR from the measurement.
• Consult the table below to determine the accuracy of your measurement.
• Multiply the accuracy by the FSR viscosity if you need your accuracy stated in Poise.
