DIN viscosity Cup cSt

DIN viscosity cups measure the kinematic viscosity (cSt) of fluids, such as paints and inks, by timing their flow through a standardized orifice, and are used for viscosity control. The principle is based on the Hagen-Poiseuille law, with applications spanning production quality control and process adjustments.
Selection
When selecting, it is essential to match the viscosity range of the fluid being tested, consider the cup spout size and material compatibility. Environmental temperature effects must be calibrated, and the cup type specification should be determined according to industry standards to ensure that the measurement data aligns with process requirements.

Handheld viscosity cups are used for rapid assessment of paint viscosity at construction sites.
A handheld viscosity cup is a portable tool used to quickly assess the viscosity of coatings at construction sites. It operates based on the flow-out time method, calculating viscosity by measuring the time it takes for the coating to flow out of the cup's orifice. It is suitable for Newtonian or approximately Newtonian fluids.

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.
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.
