Aluminum Alloy Flow Cup

The aluminum flow cup is a tool for measuring liquid viscosity, based on the principle that the time it takes for a liquid to flow out through a small hole at the bottom of the cup is proportional to its viscosity. It is used for quickly detecting the flow characteristics of fluids such as paints and inks, and is applied in quality control within industries such as printing and coating.
Selection
When selecting an aluminum flow cup, consider the viscosity range of the material being tested and match it with the corresponding orifice size. Pay attention to the corrosion resistance of the cup material to accommodate liquids with different chemical properties. Verify compliance with standards such as ISO or ASTM to ensure consistency in measurement results.
