Fluid Coating Viscosity Flow Cup

The fluid coating viscosity flow cup determines viscosity by measuring the time it takes for the coating to flow out from the standard aperture at the bottom of the cup. It is used for on-site rapid detection of coating flow performance and is employed in the coating and ink industries to adjust construction parameters.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the coating viscosity range with the cup aperture size—choose a larger aperture for high viscosity; follow standards such as ISO or ASTM to select the corresponding specifications; opt for stainless steel material for corrosion resistance; and account for temperature effects by measuring and correcting simultaneously.

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.
