Copper Viscosity Cup

The copper viscosity cup determines viscosity by measuring the time it takes for a fluid to flow out through a small hole at the bottom. It is used to test the viscosity of liquids such as paints and inks, controlling fluidity in printing and coating processes.
Selection
Select the corresponding model cup body based on the viscosity range of the liquid being measured; consider the impact of temperature on viscosity and choose a compatible temperature control device; select the aperture specification according to industry standards; verify the chemical compatibility between the cup body material and the liquid; choose a model with clear scales and timing functions.
