Flowability Test Cup

The flow cup measures the outflow time of fluids through a standard aperture, reflecting the flow characteristics of materials such as coatings and inks. It is commonly used on production sites to quickly determine whether the viscosity of a material is suitable for construction processes, and is widely applied in the formulation of printing inks and the control of coating dilution.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the viscosity range of the material being tested with the cup capacity; choose a larger cup for high viscosity. Select specific types such as Ford cups or Zahn cups according to standard requirements. Pay attention to the wear resistance and temperature adaptability of the cup nozzle material; stainless steel is suitable for most scenarios. Verify the calibration certificate to ensure measurement accuracy.
