ISO viscosity dip Cup

ISO viscosity cups determine viscosity by measuring the time it takes for a fluid to flow through a standard orifice, and are used for quality control of fluids such as coatings and inks, as well as for monitoring material flow properties in industries like printing and plastics.
Selection
When selecting, consider the viscosity range of the fluid being measured to match the cup specifications. Choose a stainless steel or aluminum cup body based on the material characteristics. The influence of ambient temperature requires the use of a constant temperature device, and the orifice size must comply with the requirements of the testing standards.
