Take viscosity measurements of very thin paints, inks, solvents, adhesives, and coating materials of all kinds. Simply fill the cup by immersing it in the Test liquid. After withdrawing the cup, measure the time it takes until the first break in the liquid stream. Each cup is supplied with a conversion table to determine viscosity in centistokes (cSt) from the elapsed time. DIP cups have an anodized aluminum handle for easy dipping and holding during timing. Replaceable orifice snaps in quickly and easily — no need to replace the whole cup. Standard Ford dip viscosity cups have the same capacity as the Ford cups designed for use with a stand. Cup numbers 3 and 5 have a ± 3 percent tolerance; cup number 4 has a ± 2 percent tolerance. Feature handle for easy sample dipping – great for field testing compatible with ASTM D 1200.
