Standard Funnel ViscoMeter

The standard funnel viscometer determines viscosity by measuring the time required for a fixed volume of liquid to flow out of a standard funnel. The outflow time is proportional to the viscosity of the liquid. It is used in industries such as coatings and inks for on-site rapid testing of fluid flow characteristics, guiding adjustments in production processes.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the viscosity range of the material being tested with the funnel model. Common models include the Ford-4 cup, Zahn cup, etc. Pay attention to the accuracy of the funnel aperture and the corrosion resistance of the material. Choose a portable or fixed model based on the usage scenario. Temperature affects the measurement, so a temperature control device is required. Regularly calibrate with standard oil to ensure data accuracy.
