ISO 2431 viscosity cup 02019 series

anodized aluminumcertificated

Very easy to use instruments made of anodized aluminium, with a stainless steel orifice, for measuring the consistency of paints, varnishes and similar products. The measured kinematic viscosity is generally expressed in seconds (s) flow time, which can be converted to Centistokes (cSt) if the Standard stipulates a conversion method. Very easy to use instruments made of anodized aluminium, with a stainless steel orifice, for measuring the consistency of paints, varnishes and similar products. The measured kinematic viscosity is generally expressed in seconds (s) flow time, which can be converted to Centistokes (cSt) if the Standard stipulates a conversion method. The cups can be supplied separately or with an adjustable stand*. Viscosity is a key parameter in the behavior of paints both during the manufacturing process and during application. Proper control of this parameter will result in a better use of the paint. Likewise, knowledge of both the application method and application temperature is required when formulating the paint. Adequate viscosity control at low and high shear rates and assessment of any thiroxotropy are also necessary during mixing in order to avoid later undesirable effects during application. Application Calculation of the viscosity by measuring the time needed to flow through an orifice of specific characteristics (seconds). The Cinematic Viscosity is the relation between the absolute viscosity and the density of a fluid. It is usually called υ, consequently υ = μ/ρ. Some of the units to express it are m2/s, stoke (St) and centistoke (cSt), with the following equivalences: 1 m2/s = 10000 St = 1x106 cSt.
