Frequently asked questions
How do I choose between the different Elcometer viscosity cup types?
Cup selection depends on your viscosity range and test standard. The Zahn (5-1840 cSt, ASTM D 1084-D and ASTM D 4212) covers the widest range. The Shell (2-1300 cSt, ASTM D 4212) suits lower viscosities. The Lory (50-1,100 cSt) is narrower. The Frikmar (7-1100 cSt) covers multiple standards including ISO 2431. Match your viscosity range and test standard to the appropriate cup.
Which cup should I use for ISO 2431 testing?
The Elcometer 2434 to 2437 Frikmar cups conform to ISO 2431. They also conform to DIN 53211, ASTM D 1200, D 5125, AS/NZS 1580.214.6:1995, and NF T30-014, and measure from 7 to 1100 cSt.
What is the maximum viscosity the Zahn cup can measure?
The Elcometer 2210 Zahn extends to 1840 cSt, the highest upper limit across the Elcometer viscosity cup range. It measures from 5 cSt and conforms to ASTM D 1084-D and ASTM D 4212.
Do the Flow Cups and Frikmar cups conform to the same standards?
Both the Elcometer 2350 to 2354 Flow Cups and 2434 to 2437 Frikmar cups conform to ASTM D 1200 and ASTM D 5125. The Frikmar also conforms to DIN 53211, ISO 2431, AS/NZS 1580.214.6:1995, and NF T30-014, making it suitable for a broader range of test standards.
What is the lowest viscosity the Shell cup can measure?
The Elcometer 2310 Shell cup can measure from 2 cSt, the lowest starting point in the range, up to 1300 cSt. It conforms to ASTM D 4212.
