Rhopoint viscosity flow cups are instruments designed to measure the viscosity of liquids, particularly paints, inks, varnishes and similar products, by measuring the time it takes for a liquid to flow through a specific orifice . The process of flow through an orifice can often be used as a relative measurement and classification of viscosity.
The measured kinematic viscosity is generally expressed in seconds of flow time which can be converted into centistokes (cSt) using a viscosity calculator. Rhopoint flow cups are manufactured from high grade aluminium alloy with stainless steel orifices, and are available in a range of orifice diameters to accommodate different viscosity ranges.
Here are some of the features of Rhopoint viscosity flow cups:
- Simple to use: Rhopoint viscosity flow cups are designed for ease of use. To measure viscosity, the cup is simply filled with the liquid to be tested, and then the cup is allowed to flow through the orifice. The time it takes for the liquid to flow through the orifice is then measured using a stopwatch.
- Portable: Rhopoint viscosity flow cups are small and lightweight, making them ideal for use in the field or in a laboratory setting.
- Durable: Rhopoint viscosity flow cups are made from high-quality materials and are built to last.
- Conforms to standards: Rhopoint viscosity flow cups are available in a variety of models that conform to international standards such as ASTM D1200 and BS EN ISO 2431.
If you are looking for a simple, portable, and durable way to measure the viscosity of liquids, a Rhopoint viscosity flow cup may be a good option for you. Contact us for quote
