ISO Standard Outflow Cup

The ISO standard flow cup calculates viscosity by measuring the time required for a fluid to fill 50 milliliters through a specified aperture, and it is used for process control and quality inspection of liquid materials such as coatings and inks.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the viscosity range of the material being tested with the cup number. The common No. 3 cup is suitable for 100–300 centistokes. Verify the corrosion resistance of the cup material; stainless steel is suitable for most solvent-based materials. Confirm the calibration certification mark to ensure measurement accuracy.
