Coating Flow Vessel

The paint flow cup is a tool used to measure the viscosity of liquid paints by recording the time it takes for the paint to flow out through a small hole at the bottom of the cup, reflecting its fluidity. It is employed for on-site rapid testing of the application performance of paints and is used in the coating and ink industries to control product consistency.
Selection
The selection of a viscosity flow cup must match the viscosity range of the coating being tested. Common models include the ISO cup and the Ford cup. Considerations should be given to the cup orifice size and material durability, with specifications determined according to industry standards such as ASTM D4212. Environmental temperature can affect the measurement, so it is necessary to use a thermometer in conjunction with the cup.
