Handheld ViscoMeter Cup

The handheld viscosity measuring cup calculates viscosity by measuring the time it takes for a fluid to flow out of a standard orifice. It is used for rapid on-site testing of the fluidity of coatings, inks, and other fluids. During operation, the sample is filled into the cup, the total outflow time is recorded, and the viscosity value is converted based on the cup's calibration coefficient. It is suitable for production sites and quality control.
Selection
When selecting, consider the measurement range matching the sample viscosity; common models include the Ford cup and Zahn cup. Choose the appropriate outflow aperture based on the sample characteristics. Pay attention to the corrosion resistance of the cup material, with stainless steel being suitable for most liquids. Verify the calibration certificate and temperature compensation function. A portable design facilitates on-site use.

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.
