Stainless Steel Drain Cup

The stainless steel flow cup measures the time it takes for paint to flow out from a small hole at the bottom of the cup, reflecting its flow characteristics. It is used in industries such as inks and paints to quickly assess viscosity and guide production adjustments.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the cup's aperture size to the viscosity range of the material being tested, with common specifications ranging from 2 to 8 millimeters. Environmental temperature affects the results, so it is necessary to choose the corresponding standard model. The cup body should be free from deformation, with a smooth orifice, and should be cleaned promptly after use to prevent clogging.

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.
Application of Desktop Viscometer Cups in Batch Sample Screening at Quality Inspection Centers
This article introduces the application of desktop viscosity cups in batch sample screening at quality inspection centers. Viscosity cups estimate viscosity by measuring the outflow time of fluids, making them suitable for rapid screening.
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.
How to Choose Between the Ring and Ball Method and the Cup and Ball Method for Softening Point Testers? Read This and Stop Worrying
This article introduces two main methods for determining the softening point of materials: the ring-and-ball method and the cup-and-ball method. The ring-and-ball method is more widely used and is suitable for materials such as asphalt. It involves measuring the temperature at which a steel ball causes the sample to sink. The cup-and-ball method is often used for specific resins or wax products, relying on the flow of the sample or the penetration of a steel ball to determine the endpoint.
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.
