Viscosity Cup Testing Instrument Viscometer Ford Cup

Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • Viscosity Measurement: Designed to measure liquid viscosity using the Ford Cup method, determining flow time and consistency for paints, coatings, inks, and adhesives.
  • Precision Stability: Metal cups (stainless steel/brass) ensure durability and resistance to heat/corrosion, while adjustable stands provide stable positioning for accurate readings.

Key features

  • 1. Corrosion-Resistant Metal Construction

  • With a corrosion-resistant metal body (stainless steel/brass), you can ensure durability in harsh environments, outlasting plastic-based alternatives*.

  • 2. Adjustable Multi-Post Stand Design

  • With adjustable clamps and multi-post stands, you can customize positioning for different cup sizes, offering greater flexibility than fixed designs*.

  • 3. High-Temperature Compatibility

  • With heat-resistant metal components, you can safely handle high-temperature applications (e.g., hot beverages or industrial testing) without deformation, surpassing non-heat-treated materials*.

  • 4. Precision-Engineered for Lab/Industrial Use

  • Designed for lab or industrial precision, you can achieve stable measurements in demanding settings, unlike general-purpose testing tools*.

  • 5. Compliance with EU and German Standards

  • Certified to CE and EPR_Germany_Packing standards, you can ensure safety and environmental compliance, enhancing trust over non-certified alternatives*.
