The ASTM D 562-2018 standard describes a method for measuring the viscosity of Krebs (KU) units of coatings using a Stormer Viscosity meter. This test method is primarily used to control and specify the viscosity conformity of paints, both consumer and trade-sold products, to ensure the mass and performance of coatings. The standard specifies the specific scope and operational steps for testing and emphasizes the importance of Measured values expressed in SI units. The standard also makes it clear that users should follow appropriate safety and environment practices and ensure compliance with relevant regulations.
