Copper Cup ViscoMeter

The copper cup viscometer determines viscosity by measuring the time required for a fluid to completely flow out through a standard orifice at the bottom of the cup. It is used for on-site rapid assessment of fluid flow properties, such as in paints and inks, offering simple operation but limited accuracy.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the viscosity range of the material being tested with the cup specifications. Common Ford cups range from No. 2 to No. 8, corresponding to different aperture sizes. Choose the coating material based on the testing environment: use stainless steel cups for nitrocellulose paint and brass cups for ordinary paint. Ensure the cup mouth is free of burrs and the volume calibration is accurate.
