321 / 322 / 343 Dip Viscosity Cups

Purpose and application

Quick viscosity measurement of any fluid, such as paints, varnishes, wet enamels, gravure printing inks, dyes and leather finishes, oils, greases and foodstuffs.

Measuring principle

The viscosity of a substance is expressed as the time a set volume of liquid (usually 100 ml) takes to run completely out of a cup with an orifice of specified diameter. The efflux time is measured with a stopwatch.

Test procedure

Dip the cup fully into the substance so that it fills completely. Then lift the cup out quickly and start the stopwatch at the same moment. Stop the stopwatch, in seconds, as soon as the orifice can be seen from above through the cup, i.e. when the substance has run out. Take care to keep the cup vertical throughout the test.
