Ø nozzle: 4 mm (± 0.02 mm) - Material: anodized aluminum. The flow cup viscometers are often used in industry and research laboratories. ¹ Stated as centistokes per second of efflux time. DIN flow cup viscometers are viscosity meters to determine the viscosity of liquids. The increased separation width of the support rods by over 20% and the lowering of weld to the cup provide best possible conditions for cleaning. This eliminates errors due to test material drainage from support surfaces. The EZ Cup support rods are offset from the side of the cup and secured to the cup sidewall below the cup rim. This insures an orifice of specified length and a correct symmetrical efflux stream.

Each cup is supplied with a conversion table to determine viscosity in centistokes (cSt) from the elapsed time.Įach stainless steel cup meets dimensions as specified in ASTM D 4212 standards.ĮZ Cup orifices are machined rather than drilled to insure exact centering in the cup hemisphere base and a minimum of burr formation.

After withdrawing the cup, measure the time it takes until the first break in the liquid stream. Simply fill the cup by immersing it in the test liquid. The readings obtained do not directly correspond with any other viscosity scale. Standards: The instrument used throughout the industry since 1934 is called a Viscosity Cup or Stein-Hall Cup. Record the time and temperature of adhesive. The first moment the flow breaks (is not consistent) stop the watch.Easily measure viscosity using an EZ viscosity cup and a stopwatch. The time in seconds is the Stein-Hall viscosity. Pull up and as soon as the cup breaks the surface start the stop watch. A viscosity cup is an instrument used to determine a fluids thickness and flow resistance. Superior to the Zahn Viscosity cup because of. Next put your stop watch in one hand and grab the viscosity cup with your other hand. The SHELL VISCOSITY CUPS are a simple, reliable device for measuring the viscosity of a wide range of fluids. Calibration and Certification procedures. EZ Cup calibration is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Conversion table relating efflux time in seconds, to the nearest tenth of a second, to viscosity in centistokes furnished with each EZ Cup. Get a reading of the temperature from the liquid and record it. EZ Cups are compatible to ASTM D 1084 Viscosity of Adhesives and ASTM D 816. The larger the cup the longer it should sit. Replacement Cup Liner for Handheld Airless Paint Sprayers, 3 Pack. Measure the Viscosity Verify that the cup temperature and the liquids temperature are uniform before testing. Then adjust the feet until a level measurement has been achieved. To ensure that everything is level put glass and a bubble level on top of the cup. Fill with oil while ensuring no air bubbles are present, it should be slightly overfilled. Air Spray Gun Disposable Paint Cups, 5 Pack. Place the Cup Place the flow cup into its stand and ensure that it is level.

Let the cup sit for an additional 1-5 minutes depending on the mass. Ensure flow cup and reference oil is at the required temperature, usually 20☌ or 25☌. Next stir the liquid in order to ensure uniform temperature and density. Twist several times in order to dislodge any air bubbles from within the cup. Submerge the dip cup completely in the liquid being measured. Using abrasive cleaning materials such as a wire brush could damage the cup again causing issues in accuracy. Dirty equipment will impact the accuracy of the test.

Using a suitable solvent clean the cup, handle and orifice to verify there is no residue. Validate there are no pre-set standards since certain viscosity tests have unique flow time standards. If not listed, select a cup that will give an estimated flow time of 30 - 100 seconds.
