Viscosity Cup ARW

The ARW viscosity cup is a very simple to use instrument designed to measure the consistency (degree of viscosity) of paints or other liquids according to the different reference standards ISO, DIN, ASTM, FORD, AFNOR, etc..

How do you use the viscosity cup?

• Bring the liquid sample and cup to the temperature required to perform the test
• Make sure the cup is perfectly clean and free from marks and impurities
• Place the viscosity cup on a suitable support making sure it is perfectly level
• Close the nozzle opening with your finger.
• Fill the cup to the brim making sure that the sample is free of bubbles or any other impurities.
• Use a glass plate by pushing it from one side to the other in order to eliminate the excess liquid in the border and close by sealing the cup and close the cup with the glass plate.
