DIN Immersion Viscosity Flow Cup Portabl Aluminum DIN Cup Viscometer
4mm, 6mm
This instrument is a high-quality aluminum viscosity cup, manufactured in accordance with the DIN 53211 standard. It is designed to determine the viscosity of inks, coatings, paints, and similar materials by measuring the time (in seconds) it takes for a 100ml sample to flow out through a precisely sized orifice in the bottom.

Step-by-Step Operating Instructions
Preparation & Cleaning:
- Before use, thoroughly clean the cup and its orifice using a suitable solvent to remove any residue from previous tests.
- Ensure the cup is completely dry before proceeding.
Immersion & Temperature Equilibrium:
- Immerse the cup body into the container of your sample for 1 to 5 minutes. This allows the cup to reach thermal equilibrium with the material, ensuring a consistent temperature for an accurate reading.
Filling & Lifting:
- Lift the cup vertically, fast, and smoothly out of the material.
Timing the Flow:
- Start the timer the moment the upper end of the cup body clears the liquid surface.
- Hold the cup vertically over the sample container. The distance from the cup's bottom to the liquid surface should not exceed 150 mm.
Stopping the Timer & Recording:
- Stop the timer the instant the continuous stream of liquid breaks for the first time (this is the "breakpoint").
- Record the time in seconds as the viscosity value.
Post-Use Cleaning & Verification:
- Immediately after use, clean the cup again with a suitable solvent.
- For reliability, perform the measurement at least twice. The difference between the two readings should be less than 5% of their average value.
