Paint Flow Vessel

A paint flow cup is a tool used to measure the viscosity of coatings. It reflects the flow characteristics of the coating by measuring the time it takes for the coating to completely flow out through a small hole at the bottom of the cup. It is used in the production and application of coatings to help control the brushing performance and drying effect, ensuring an even coating.
Selection
When selecting a paint flow cup, consider the type of paint and its viscosity range to match the appropriate orifice size of the flow cup; check the durability of the flow cup material and the accuracy of its markings; determine the capacity specifications according to industry standards to ensure reliable measurement results.
