Kinematic Viscosity
Flow Cup Viscometers
STANDARDS: ISO 2431, ASTM D-1200
Flow cup viscometers provide kinematic viscosity data. The measured kinematic
viscosity is generally expressed in seconds (s) flow time when the fluid is flowing
through an orifice at a specified temperature. Thanks to the conversion equations the
viscosity is calculated from the flow time to centistokes (cSt). The calibration certificates
are supplied with the cups.
According to the standards, there are several viscosity ranges available from 5 cSt.
Flow cups made of anodized aluminium body with a stainless steel orifice.
Ensuring the accuracy of the test results, FUNGILAB recommends a periodic
calibration check. You can check the viscosity results using the standard oils specially
manufactured for these kind of viscometers (available under request), or sending the
instrument to our calibration laboratories.
Industries like paint, ink, varnishes and similar products use this very easy to use flow
cups to quickly calculate the viscosity.

The cups can be supplied separately or with an adjustable stand These types of flow cups are available in two options: with or
that includes a precision level and an overflow glass draw plate. without handle.
The cups without handle can be supplied separately or with an
adjustable stand that includes a precision level and an overflow
glass draw plate. The handle types are fitted directly into the
liquid to fill in and calculate the flowing time. Thanks to its handle,
this cup is very easy to use.
