Dip Viscosity Cup

The immersion viscosity cup determines viscosity by measuring the time it takes for the fluid to flow out from a small hole at the bottom of the cup, with the time being proportional to the viscosity. It is used for on-site rapid testing of fluid viscosity such as paints and inks, featuring simple operation and suitability for production process control.
Selection
When selecting an immersion viscosity cup, it is necessary to consider the viscosity range of the fluid being measured and match it with the aperture specifications of the cup. Choose the material based on the usage environment, such as stainless steel for corrosion resistance. The cup capacity should be suitable for the sample volume, ensuring that the measurement covers common viscosity values in the process.

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.

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.
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.
