AFNOR viscosity cup

stainless steelaluminumcertificated

Short description

• Orifice options: 2.5 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm
• Viscosity range: approx. 5 – 11,500 cSt depending on orifice
• Typical flow times: 30 – 100 s
• Supplied with certificate of conformity; certified standard oils available for verification
• Sheen equivalents: Sheen 419/2.5, 419/4, 419/6 & 419/8

Overview
The AFNOR Viscosity Flow Cup NF T30-014 provides a repeatable, flow-time method to assess kinematic viscosity of paints, inks, varnishes and related liquid coatings. Flow through a calibrated orifice yields a relative measurement that can be converted to centistokes (cSt) using standard conversion procedures or a viscosity calculator.

Materials and construction
Manufactured from high-grade aluminium alloy. Orifices are stainless steel where specified. Units are supplied verified and can be checked using certified standard oils (UKAS/ISO 17025 where required) to confirm conformity and measurement consistency.

Product variants

• AFNOR Flow Cup − 2.5 mm (NF T30-014) — Order code RL-A-FC-AFNOR/2.5 — Viscosity range 5–140 cSt — Flow times 30–100 s
• AFNOR Flow Cup − 4 mm (NF T30-014) — Order code RL-A-FC-AFNOR/4 — Viscosity range 50–1100 cSt — Flow times 30–100 s
• AFNOR Flow Cup − 6 mm (NF T30-014) — Order code RL-A-FC-AFNOR/6 — Viscosity range 510–5100 cSt — Flow times 30–100 s
• AFNOR Flow Cup − 8 mm (NF T30-014) — Order code RL-A-FC-AFNOR/8 — Viscosity range 700–11500 cSt — Flow times 30–100 s

Additional information
Selection of orifice diameter determines the applicable viscosity range. Typical applications include process control, quality control and formulation for paints, coatings, printing inks and varnishes where a simple, repeatable flow-time measurement is required.
