Stainless Steel Desktop Outflow Cup

The stainless steel desktop outflow cup measures the time it takes for a fluid to flow out through a standard aperture, reflecting the fluid's viscosity. It is used in industries such as coatings and inks for viscosity control to ensure consistency across production batches.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the viscosity range of the measured material with the cup capacity, choose the aperture size according to industry standards, ensure the cup has a flat base and a hanging hook, and clean it immediately with the corresponding solvent after use to prevent residue.
