Ink viscosity measuring Cup

The ink viscosity measuring cup calculates viscosity by measuring the time it takes for a specific volume of ink to flow out through a small hole at the bottom of the cup. Its function is to monitor ink fluidity, and it is used for rapid on-site testing in printing workshops.
Selection
When selecting, consider the compatibility of the ink type with the cup material, determine the outflow aperture based on the viscosity range, calibrate for environmental temperature effects, ensure the cup scale is clear for easy reading, and regularly clean to maintain unobstructed flow channels.
