Product Description
We are involved in production and supply of flow Cup Viscometer(Ford Cup). This is an appliance to ascertain the viscosity levels of fluids like water, grease, oil and others. To measure the viscosity level of liquids like lubricants, high capacity viscometers also known as rhemoters are used. Our viscometers are extensively used in Paints, chemicals, lubrication and other liquid processes.

Versatile Viscosity MeasurementThe Ford Cup Viscometer is designed for use in laboratories and industrial settings to accurately determine the viscosity of liquids like paints, inks, varnishes, and lubricants. Its various cup number options allow users to select the right configuration for their specific testing needs, ensuring adaptability across multiple applications.
Robust and Portable ConstructionBuilt from brass with a smooth, polished finish and anodized aluminium cup, the viscometer is highly durable and corrosion resistant. The manual, power-free design makes it easy to use and transport, while the optional tripod stand provides stability during testing. Its cylindrical shape and compact size allow for convenient handling.
Reliable and Accurate ResultsWith an accuracy of 2% of the measured value and a temperature resistance of up to 100C, the viscometer ensures trustworthy and consistent results. The flow time range of 5 to 100 seconds is ideal for a wide viscosity spectrum, making this instrument a reliable choice for precise laboratory measurements.
FAQ's of Flow Cup Viscometer - Ford Cup:
Q: How does the Ford Cup Viscometer measure viscosity?
A: The Ford Cup Viscometer determines the viscosity of a liquid by measuring the time it takes for a fixed volume to flow through a standardized orifice located at the bottom of the cup. The process is manual and requires no external power; results are interpreted based on the observed flow time.
Q: What types of liquids can be tested with this viscometer?
A: This viscometer is suitable for testing the viscosity of a variety of liquids, including paints, inks, lacquers, varnishes, lubricants, and similar substances commonly used in laboratories and industrial applications.
Q: When should I select a different Ford Cup number?
A: The choice of Ford Cup number depends on the viscosity range of the liquid being tested. Lower-numbered cups (e.g., No. 2) are ideal for low-viscosity liquids, while higher numbers (e.g., No. 5) are better for higher-viscosity substances. Selecting the correct cup ensures accurate and meaningful viscosity measurements.
Q: Where can this viscometer be used?
A: This product is widely used in laboratory settings, quality control departments, research facilities, and production sites, especially in industries involved with paints, coatings, and ink formulations. It is also available through distributors and suppliers across India.
Q: What is the measurement process with the Flow Cup Viscometer?
A: Fill the cup with the test liquid (up to 100 ml), allow the liquid to flow through the orifice, and record the time it takes for the flow to cease. The optional stand helps provide stability during the measurement. The time correlates to the liquid's viscosity.
Q: Is the viscometer easy to use and maintain?
A: Yes, the viscometer is manually operated, portable, and straightforward to use. The polished brass and anodized parts are corrosion resistant, facilitating easy cleaning and long-term maintenance.
Q: What are the key benefits of using this viscometer?
A: Key benefits include its reliable accuracy (2% of measured value), portability, manual operation (no power needed), resistance to corrosion and temperatures up to 100C, and its suitability for a wide range of laboratory and industrial analyses.
