Outflow AFNOR viscosity Cup

The outflow AFNOR viscosity cup calculates viscosity by measuring the time it takes for a fixed volume of liquid to flow out through a standard orifice. It is used for on-site rapid testing of fluid flowability in industries such as coatings and inks. During operation, the cup is immersed into the sample, and the time taken for the full cup of liquid to empty is recorded. The longer the time, the higher the viscosity. It complies with the French AFNOR standard and is suitable for measuring Newtonian fluids.
Selection
The selection of an outflow AFNOR viscosity cup should consider the viscosity range of the material being tested. Common models correspond to different orifice diameters and measurement ranges. The cup material should be determined according to industry standards, with stainless steel offering corrosion resistance. Calibration certificates should be verified to ensure accuracy, and environmental temperature effects need to be compensated. The cup structure should facilitate easy cleaning and maintenance.

This article introduces how a Hall flowmeter measures the flowability of spray powder. It uses a standard funnel to measure the time required for a certain mass of powder to flow out under gravity—the shorter the time, the better the flowability.
Key steps for measuring the efflux time of varnish using a viscosity cup method
This article introduces the method for measuring the outflow time of varnish using a viscosity cup. The principle is based on Poiseuille's law, where viscosity is estimated by recording the time it takes for the liquid to completely flow out from the small hole at the bottom of the cup—longer times typically indicate higher viscosity.
How to Choose Between the Ring and Ball Method and the Cup and Ball Method for Softening Point Testers? Read This and Stop Worrying
This article introduces two main methods for determining the softening point of materials: the ring-and-ball method and the cup-and-ball method. The ring-and-ball method is more widely used and is suitable for materials such as asphalt. It involves measuring the temperature at which a steel ball causes the sample to sink. The cup-and-ball method is often used for specific resins or wax products, relying on the flow of the sample or the penetration of a steel ball to determine the endpoint.
Types and Selection of Paint Viscosity Cups
As a simple tool for measuring the liquid outflow time, the viscosity cup is mainly categorized into various types such as the Tu-4 cup, ISO cup, Ford cup, and Zahn cup, based on standards from different countries and regions. These cups differ in orifice size, capacity, and the types of fluids they are suitable for.
