Viscosity Measurement Cup

A viscosity measurement cup reflects viscosity by measuring the time it takes for a fluid to flow completely through a small hole at the bottom. The longer the time, the higher the viscosity. It is used for on-site rapid testing of fluid flow characteristics, such as for paints and inks.
Selection
Select the corresponding measurement cup based on the viscosity range of the material being tested. Consider the material's characteristics to avoid corrosion of the cup. Match the temperature conditions of the on-site operating environment. Verify that the cup orifice diameter aligns with the standard specifications.
