Elcometer - Flow Cups

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information on Elcometer's Viscosity Flow Cups, which are instruments used to measure the consistency of paints, varnishes, and similar products. These cups are made of anodized aluminum with a stainless steel orifice and measure kinematic viscosity in seconds of flow time. The ElcoCalc™ Mobile App can convert flow time into Centistokes (cSt) if required by standards.
Specifications and Standards: The document lists various standards that the viscosity cups comply with, including ISO 2431, AS/NZS 1580.214.2, BS 3900-A6:1971, ASTM D 1200, DIN 53211, and AFNOR NF T30-014. Each cup is supplied with a calibration certificate ensuring traceability and compliance with these standards.
Product Range: The document details different models of viscosity cups, including BS, DIN, ISO, FORD/ASTM, and AFNOR types, each with specific orifice diameters and viscosity ranges. Calibration certificates are available for each model.
Accessories: Elcometer offers various accessories to enhance the functionality of the viscosity cups, such as precision stands, thermojackets for temperature control, and digital thermometers. These accessories ensure accurate measurements by maintaining the correct temperature and positioning of the cups.
Conversion and Calibration: A conversion chart is provided to translate efflux time into viscosity in Centistokes for different cup types. The document emphasizes the importance of using standard calibration oils to verify the accuracy of the viscosity cups.
Contact Information: The document includes contact details for Elcometer offices worldwide, including locations in the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, Singapore, the USA, and the UAE.

Viscosity - Flow Cups Viscosity Flow Cups Viscosity Flow Cups are very easy to use instruments made of anodized aluminium with a stainless steel orifice, for measuring the consistency of paints, varnishes and similar products. The measured kinematic viscosity is generally expressed in seconds(s) flow time. If the Standards stipulate conversion methods the flow time can be converted into Centistokes (cSt) using the Elcometer ElcoCalc™ Mobile App. Calibration certificates which offer traceability and assurance that each viscosity cup has been individually tested and comply to Standards are also...

Viscosity Cups Viscosity Cup Conversion compatible with The table below lists the major flow cup types together with a conversion chart of Efflux Time (in seconds) to Viscosity in Centistokes (cSt). It has been constructed from the various International Standard Calculators. Each cup design is unique, care must be taken when comparing viscosity values between different cup types. These values are the absolute values and do not include the allowed tolerances, as these differ considerably between each of the Standards. Viscosity Cup Type Time (seconds) All measurements are in Centistokes (cSt)....

Viscosity - Standard Calibration Oils Elcometer 2410 Elcometer Viscosity Cup Standard Calibration Oils In order to check the viscosity cup’s calibration or to certify it for ISO purposes, it is imperative that viscosity cup standard calibration oils are used. Standard oils have a specific drain time, dependent upon the viscosity cup type (Ford, Shell, Zahn etc.) and the orifice or cup number used. To check the viscosity cup, use the standard viscosity oils in place of the liquid and measure the drain time. Specific calibration oils can only be used with specific flow cups. Please use the table...
