The extent to which a liquid resists a tendency to flow is defined as viscosity. In the coatings industry, this behaviour is one of the key parameters. Elcometer manufactures and supplies a wide range of viscosity gauges from flow cups and dip cups to rotational and cone and plate viscometers.
The Elcometer 2350 to 2354 Viscosity Flow cups are very easy to use instruments of anodized aluminium with a stainless steel orifice, for measuring the consistency of paints, varnishes and similar products. The measured kinematic viscosity is generally expressed in seconds (s)…
The Elcometer 2210 Zahn Dip Cup is a small U-shaped cup suspended from a looped wire. This method is ideal for measuring the consistency of paints, varnishes and similar products. Simply dip the cup into the product to be measured, lift it out and measure how long it takes for…
The Elcometer 2400 viscosity calculator is a simple conversion table that allows the viscosity (usually recorded in cSt) and flow times (recorded in seconds) to be compared. A conversion table that allows the viscosity (in cSt) and flow times of different cups to be compared.…
Thanks to its handle, the Elcometer Frikmar Dip Cups are very easy to use to perform checks on site or during the manufacturing process. It is ideal for measuring the consistency of paints, varnishes and similar products. The cup is first dipped into the product to be measured,…
A professional high precision, digital LCD pocket sized stopwatch for measuring flow time.
The Elcometer 2215 Lory Viscosity Cup is a conventional cylindrical cup with a needle fixed into the bottom for quick measurements on-site or during production. The cup is first dipped into the product to be measured, then empties through the escape hole. Unlike other Viscosity…
The Elcometer 2290 Daniel Flow Gauge is a simple instrument and is used to assess the ability of thick or paste-like materials such as paints or printing inks to flow. The product is poured into the semi-cylindrical reservoir. When the instrument is lifted vertically, the product…
In order to check the viscosity cup's calibration or to certify it for ISO purposes, it is imperative that viscosity cup standard calibration oils are used. The Elcometer 2410 Standard Viscosity Oils have a specific drain time, dependent upon the viscosity cup type (Ford, Shell,…
The Elcometer 2310 Shell Viscosity Dip Cups are stainless steel cups for quick measurements on-site or during production. These cups are often used in the printing or ink industry. Simply dip the cup into the product to be measured, lift it out and measure how long it takes for…
The Elcometer 4270 Sag Tester is used to establish a coating's resistance to sag due to gravity. Made from stainless steel, the straight scraper has 11 notches of increasing clearance. A contrast chart is immediately placed in a vertical position with the thinnest film at the…
Compare the Elcometer viscosity cup range at a glance. These are different cup types in one range, each suited to a different measurement scenario and set of standards. The headline specifications below cover measurement range and standards conformance across the 2210 Zahn, 2215…
Frequently asked questions
What is viscosity?
Viscosity refers to the extent to which a liquid resists flow.
How do I measure viscosity?
Viscosity can be measured using devices such as flow cups, dip cups, rotational viscometers, and cone and plate viscometers.
What are flow cups?
Flow cups are used to measure the kinematic viscosity of a liquid, typically expressed in seconds of flow time.
What are dip cups?
Dip cups provide a quick viscosity measurement and are often used on-site.
What is a sag tester?
A sag tester measures a coating's resistance to sagging due to gravity.
