ZAHN Viscosity Cup

The Zahn viscosity cup determines viscosity by measuring the time it takes for a fixed volume of liquid to flow out through a small hole at the bottom of the cup. Its function is to quickly assess the fluidity of coatings, inks, and other liquids on-site. It is applied in process control within industries such as printing and coating.
Selection
When selecting, consider the viscosity range of the liquid being tested, and match the corresponding cup model based on the estimated flow rate of the sample. Pay attention to the compatibility between the cup nozzle aperture and the material; stainless steel is suitable for most solvent-based liquids. For portable operation requirements, choose a style with a hook.
