Outflow viscoMeter Cup

The outflow viscosity cup determines viscosity by measuring the time it takes for a standard volume of liquid to flow out of a small hole at the bottom of the cup. The outflow time of the liquid is proportional to its viscosity, making it suitable for rapid on-site testing of fluids such as coatings and inks. It is easy to operate and relatively low-cost.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the cup orifice size to the viscosity range of the fluid being measured. Common models include ISO cups and Ford cups. Determine the cup material and calibration status according to standards such as ASTM D4212. Choose mechanical or electronic timing methods based on measurement accuracy requirements, and note that the effect of temperature on fluid viscosity must be recorded simultaneously.

Handheld viscosity cups are used for rapid assessment of paint viscosity at construction sites.
A handheld viscosity cup is a portable tool used to quickly assess the viscosity of coatings at construction sites. It operates based on the flow-out time method, calculating viscosity by measuring the time it takes for the coating to flow out of the cup's orifice. It is suitable for Newtonian or approximately Newtonian fluids.

Key steps for measuring the efflux time of varnish using a viscosity cup method
This article introduces the method for measuring the outflow time of varnish using a viscosity cup. The principle is based on Poiseuille's law, where viscosity is estimated by recording the time it takes for the liquid to completely flow out from the small hole at the bottom of the cup—longer times typically indicate higher viscosity.
Types and Selection of Paint Viscosity Cups
As a simple tool for measuring the liquid outflow time, the viscosity cup is mainly categorized into various types such as the Tu-4 cup, ISO cup, Ford cup, and Zahn cup, based on standards from different countries and regions. These cups differ in orifice size, capacity, and the types of fluids they are suitable for.
