Measuring device stand

Product summary

• Stand suitable for use with Rhopoint DIN, ASTM, AFNOR, ISO and BS flow cups
• Supplied with a certificate of conformity

Description
The Rhopoint flow cups measure the kinematic viscosity of paints, inks, varnishes and similar products by timing flow through a calibrated orifice. The stand keeps the cup securely positioned for consistent timed measurements. Flow times (seconds) can be converted to centistokes (cSt) using calibration data or a viscosity calculator.

What is viscosity?
Viscosity is a fluid's resistance to flow, expressing internal friction between layers. Measuring flow time through a standard orifice provides a relative kinematic viscosity value, commonly reported in seconds and convertible to cSt.

Usage and compatibility
The viscosity flow cup stand RL-A-FC-STAND is designed for use with Rhopoint DIN, ASTM, AFNOR, ISO and BS flow cups (cups sold separately). It secures the cup for repeatable timing and is supplied with a certificate of conformity.
