CHINA Ford-2 #Ford Viscosity Cup, flow hole 2.53mm

Introduction

The Ford Cup is a standard test equipment for viscosity measurement of paints, coatings and similar substances, commonly used for quality control and R&D in the paint and coatings industry. The Ford cup is a Viscosity Cup used to measure the fluidity and viscosity of a liquid to determine its flow properties. According to the American Society for Testing and Materials paint and raw material standards ASTM D1200, D333, D365, the capacity is approximately 100ml.

The outflow aperture of the Ford-2# Ford cup is 2.53mm, made of aluminum alloy, and the cup mouth is made of stainless steel. The viscosity measurement range is 25-120cst. It is suitable for viscosity testing of coatings, paints, and inks.

Principle

The principle of the Ford cup is based on the relationship between outflow velocity and liquid viscosity. Under certain conditions, the liquid in the Ford cup will flow out of a fixed hole, and the time it takes to flow out is used to evaluate the viscosity of the liquid. Different models of Ford cups have different apertures and designs for measuring liquids with different viscosity ranges.

Way of working

The typical structure of a Ford cup is a conical cup with a small hole in the bottom. During the test, the cup is filled with the liquid to be tested, and then the cup is turned upside down and fixed on a stand, and the liquid flows out through the small hole. By measuring the time it takes for the liquid to flow out of a small hole, the viscosity of a liquid can be calculated.
