Paint Second Cup

The paint flow cup is a tool for measuring the viscosity of coatings. Its principle is based on the fact that the time it takes for a fluid to pass through a standard orifice is proportional to its viscosity. It is used to quickly evaluate the flow characteristics of coatings and is applied in quality control for industries such as painting and printing.
Selection
When selecting a paint viscosity cup, consider the type of coating and match the aperture size; check the cup material for corrosion resistance; refer to standards such as ISO 2431 to ensure measurement consistency; and determine the appropriate model based on the conventional viscosity range.
