The La Pine Scientific Size 2 Viscosity/Flow Cup 32060-02 is a precision instrument designed for accurately measuring the viscosity of various fluids, including paints, coatings, and similar materials.
Key Features
- Orifice Diameter: 2.8 mm, suitable for a viscosity range of 25 to 120 centistokes (cSt).
- Material Construction: Crafted from high-grade aluminum alloy with a stainless steel orifice, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion.
- Design: Features a conically shaped cup with a 12-inch looped stainless steel handle, allowing for easy immersion into liquid containers. The handle includes a split key ring at the top for precise vertical alignment during testing.
- Capacity: Holds approximately 44 cc of liquid sample, facilitating consistent and reliable measurements.
Applications
This viscosity cup is ideal for industries requiring precise viscosity measurements, such as automotive, paint manufacturing, and coatings. It is particularly useful for assessing the flow properties of mixed paints reduced with solvents, ensuring optimal application and performance.
Usage Instructions
- Measure and record the temperature of the liquid sample to ensure accurate results.
- Immerse the cup into the liquid, allowing it to fill completely.
- Withdraw the cup vertically and simultaneously start a timing device.
- Observe the efflux stream; stop the timer at the first distinct break in the stream near the base of the cup.
- Record the efflux time in seconds, noting the cup type and number for reference.
By following these steps, users can obtain precise viscosity measurements, aiding in quality control and formulation adjustments.
