The ASTM D1200-2010 Ford Viscosity Cup Method for the Determination of Viscosity is a standard method for measuring the viscosity of liquids such as Coatings, inks, etc. This method uses the Ford Viscosity Cup to measure the time it takes for a liquid to flow out of a specific pore size to evaluate its viscosity. Ford Viscosity Cups are available in various models and are suitable for liquids in different viscosity ranges. They are typically used for materials with a viscosity of 10,1200 centistokes (cSt). The standard describes the test procedures in detail, including temperature control, sample preparation, outflow time measurement, and result calculation. The method is simple and fast, and is widely used in quality control and Product Research & Development in Coatings, inks and other industries, providing a scientific basis for the flowability and construction performance evaluation of liquid materials.
