DIN 53211 viscosity cup

aluminumstainless steelcertificated

Overview
The Rhopoint flow cups are designed to accurately measure the viscosity of paints, inks, varnishes and similar products. Manufactured from aluminium alloy with stainless steel orifices. Supplied with a certificate of conformity. Sheen equivalent: Sheen 404/2, 404/4, 404/6 & 404/8.

What is viscosity?
Viscosity describes a fluid's resistance to flow (internal friction between fluid layers). Measuring flow through a calibrated orifice provides a relative kinematic viscosity value. Results are commonly given as flow time in seconds and can be converted to centistokes (cSt) using standard conversion tables or a viscosity calculator.
