Zion cup, also known as ZAHN Viscosity Cup, is a kind of Viscosity Cup with a long handle and a round cup head. It is used to measure the viscosity of paint and other related products. It is widely used in viscosity detection. The appearance design of Zion cup makes it very convenient for on-site detection. Because it has a long handle, the Viscosity Cup can be directly immersed in the paint to be tested, and then quickly lifted to calculate the outflow time to calculate the viscosity.
There is a large market for Zion cups, and the production will also increase accordingly. Therefore, there are many types of brands, and the quality is also uneven. This issue is mainly to evaluate the TQC VF2227 Zion Cup imported from the Netherlands . Let’s take a look at the outstanding features of this Zion Cup with the author.
First look at the appearance of this Zion Cup

This appearance seems to be similar to others, let’s take a look at its details and advantages, we have to admit that sometimes the quality of some imported products is still more advantageous.
(1) Material. The VF2227 Zion cup is made of high-grade stainless steel from Europe and America. The surface finish is quite good. Some paint products are somewhat corrosive, and the material is good and the corrosion resistance is strong. Comparing with some domestic brands of Cai En Cup, the temperament comes out. (The picture below is a brand product in the lower left corner)

(2) Parameters. The diameter of the filter tip of this Zion cup is 2.7mm, and it will be used more than other diameters. The measured viscosity range is 20~250cst, and the flow time of the products that can use it is between 20~80s, that is to say, it is more suitable for thin oil with low viscosity, mixed paint, and paint.

(2) Appearance. The surface of the VF2227 Viscosity Cup is engraved with TQC's brand name, compliance standards, model, name and other information, so that multiple models will not be confused when choosing together. On the other hand, it also reflects TQC's product design. The details are also well done.

(3) The thickness of the cup body. Look at the thickness of the Zion cup of TQC. It can be seen intuitively that it is quite thick, so that it will not easily crack or dent. The author has compared other brands, and some are really thin and look quite fragile.

(4) Packaging. The packaging of the VF2227 Zion Cup is minimalist, with a hard transparent plastic outer box, compact design, and easy to carry. There is also a layer of netting on the outside of the cup to prevent the Zion cup from being rubbed. The overall design is still relatively detailed.


(5) Practical application. Finally, let's take a look at the actual test viscosity chart of this TQC Zion Cup. The operation of Cai En Cup is simple and convenient.
