VISCOSITY CUPS
Measure viscosity in 60 seconds or less using these Viscosity Cups. By testing
and recording the time needed to drain a specific liquid from a designated
cup, accurate viscosity values can be determined. Use the included 8-1/2"
x 11" viscosity conversion chart to convert drain time in seconds,
(to the nearest tenth of a
second) into centistokes. Calibration and certification procedures qualify
under MIL STD 45662A.
The physical dimensions of the Viscosity Cups comply to those listed and
published in ASTM Method D- 4212. Manufacturing jigs and fixtures have been
produced and are used to insure that
these dimensions are held to close tolerance. There are 5 cups in the series
covering the seconds and centistoke range as follows:
CHOOSE FROM:
¡Ü Cup Number 1: Used for very thin mixtures where
low solids application is desired.
¡Ü Cup Number 2: The most popular cup of the series.
It is used for most mixed paints which have been reduced with solvent for
application regardless of the application method.
¡Ü Cups Number 3 & 4: Used for higher solids application
where extra heavy coatings are specified.
¡Ü Cup Number 5: Normally used for measuring the viscosity
of paints prior to reduction with solvent.
