Frikmar viscosity cup

ISODIN 53211stainless steel

Overview
The FRIKMAR Viscosity Flow Cups are designed to measure the viscosity of paints, inks, varnishes and similar liquid coatings by timing flow through a defined orifice. Results are reported as flow time (seconds) and can be converted to kinematic viscosity (cSt) using standard conversion charts or a viscosity calculator.

How viscosity is described
Viscosity reflects a fluid's resistance to flow (internal shear between layers). Measuring flow through an orifice provides a repeatable relative classification of kinematic viscosity for process control and quality assurance of liquid coatings.

Key features

• Available orifice diameters: 2 mm, 4 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm
• Viscosity measurement range: 15 – 3000 cSt (depending on orifice)
• Typical flow times: 25 – 150 seconds
• Orifices manufactured from stainless steel (where indicated)
• Body manufactured from high grade aluminium alloy
• Supplied with a certificate of conformity; UKAS / ISO 17025 certified reference oils available
• Sheen equivalents: Sheen 420/2, 420/4, 420/6 & 420/8
