Zahn Cup viscoMeter

The cup viscometer determines viscosity by measuring the time it takes for a specific volume of fluid to flow through a standard orifice. It is used for quality control of fluids such as paints and inks, enabling rapid on-site testing of flow characteristics.
Selection
When selecting, consider the measurement range matching the sample viscosity, the orifice size adapting to fluid characteristics, the operational environment requiring portability or benchtop use, and the material corrosion resistance suitable for the detection medium.
