Paint immersion Cup

The paint dip cup is a tool used to measure the viscosity of liquid coatings. Its principle is based on the time it takes for a fixed volume of coating to flow out through a small hole at the bottom of a standard cup, where the time is proportional to the viscosity. It is used for on-site rapid testing of the flow characteristics of coatings, guiding dilution and adjustments in application.
Selection
When selecting, consider the type of paint and viscosity range. The cup material must be corrosion-resistant, with apertures matching common standards. Operational convenience should meet on-site requirements, temperature effects should have compensation measures, and regular calibration ensures data reliability.
