Liquid outflow Cup

The liquid outflow cup measures the time it takes for a certain volume of liquid to flow out from a small hole at the bottom of the cup, reflecting the viscosity of the liquid. It is used for on-site rapid testing of flow performance in industries such as coatings and inks, guiding dilution or application adjustments.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the viscosity range of the material being tested with the cup specifications. Common types include Ford cups and Zahn cups. Choose the appropriate aperture according to standards and pay attention to the impact of temperature on measurements. Stainless steel cups are durable, while plastic cups are suitable for corrosive liquids.

Lab Mixer Selection - Viscosity Determines Torque
This article mainly discusses how to select a laboratory mixer based on the viscosity of the material. The higher the viscosity, the greater the torque required. Low-viscosity liquids are suitable for high speed and low torque, while high-viscosity materials require low speed and high torque.

The negative pressure leak detector evaluates the seal integrity of vacuum packaging by simulating a pressure differential environment. The instrument places the sample in a testing chamber and creates a vacuum to form negative pressure. If there is a leak, air or liquid will seep into the packaging, and the result is determined by observing pressure changes or the presence of bubbles.
