Ford viscosity cup

ISOASTM D1200stainless steel

Product overview
The Rhopoint Ford Flow Cup ASTM D1200 is designed to measure the kinematic viscosity of paints, inks, varnishes and similar liquid coatings by timing the flow through a defined orifice. The cup is supplied with a certificate of conformity and may be verified using UKAS / ISO 17025 certified standard oils.

Key features

• Measures kinematic viscosity by flow time through a calibrated orifice
• Suitable for paints, inks, varnishes and related liquid coatings
• Supplied with a certificate of conformity; verification oils available to UKAS / ISO 17025 standards
• Sheen equivalents referenced: 406/1, 406/2, 406/3, 406/4 & 406/5
