Dip-Cup ViscoMeter

The immersion cup viscometer calculates viscosity by measuring the time it takes for a fixed volume of fluid to flow out from the standard aperture at the bottom of the cup. It is used for on-site rapid testing of the fluidity of coatings, inks, and other fluids. During operation, the filled cup is immersed into the sample and then lifted vertically, and the time for the fluid to completely drain is recorded; the longer the time, the higher the viscosity.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the viscosity range of the fluid being tested with the calibration range of the cup type. Use stainless steel cups for corrosive fluids and brass cups for routine applications. Choose a handheld type for portability and a fixed type for laboratory use. Select the corresponding orifice size according to ASTM D4212 or ISO 2431 standards, using a small orifice for high viscosity and a large orifice for low viscosity.
