Precise kinematic viscosity measurement for Newtonian and near-Newtonian liquids Designed to deliver repeatable kinematic viscosity readings for paints, coatings, water-based paints and adhesives, ensuring reliable results across production, QC and lab environments. Key benefits — why you need it Accurate and repeatable results: Tight discharge-hole tolerance (4 ± 0.02 mm) and defined efflux behavior reduce measurement variability. Wide, practical measuring range: Efflux time 30–100 seconds corresponding to a viscosity range of 112–685 cSt covers many common paint, coating and adhesive formulations. Easy, consistent timing: A lifting mounting screw on the bracket provides height adjustment so you can set the cup position precisely for consistent efflux timing. Reduced operator error and fatigue: The ergonomic seat structure supports the cup during measurement so the operator does not need to hold the arm, lowering manual error and improving throughput. Compact sample size: 100 ml cup volume is convenient for routine tests without excessive sample use. Function, compatibility and performance Measurement principle: Kinematic (efflux-time) viscosity measurement for Newtonian or near-Newtonian fluids. Specified hardware: discharge hole diameter 4 ± 0.02 mm; cup volume 100 ml; efflux time 30–100 s; measuring range 112–685 cSt. Suitable sample types: paints, coatings, water-based paints and adhesives that behave as Newtonian or near-Newtonian fluids. Practical use scenarios Quality control on the production line: Quick batch checks to confirm viscosity stays within spec before packaging. On-site checks for applicators and contractors: Fast viscosity verification of coatings and water-based paints prior to spraying or rolling. Formulation and lab testing: Routine comparative measurements during R&D or when adjusting adhesive or paint formulations. Operation tips for reliable results Use the bracket’s lifting mounting screw to set a repeatable cup height and start/stop timing from the same reference position every test. Allow samples to equilibrate to test temperature before measuring, and use the ergonomic seat to stabilize the cup for consistent efflux timing.
