Outflow Cup viscoMeter

The efflux cup viscometer determines viscosity by measuring the time it takes for a fluid to flow out of a standard orifice. Under the influence of gravity, the fluid drains from a small hole at the bottom of the cup, and the time required for complete drainage is recorded. A longer drainage time indicates higher viscosity. This method is used for on-site rapid testing of fluid flow properties in applications such as coatings and inks.
Selection
Select the corresponding cup number based on the viscosity range of the fluid being tested; choose a cup with a larger aperture for high-viscosity fluids. Consider the fluid characteristics and select a cup made of wear-resistant material if the fluid contains particles. Choose certified cup types such as ISO or DIN according to standard requirements. Opt for a temperature-controlled model if environmental temperature affects the measurement.
