This method is ideal for measuring the consistency of paints, varnishes and similar products.
Simply dip the cup into the product to be measured, lift it out and measure how long it takes for the contents to empty through the orifice.
There are five cups with five different orifice sizes available, ranging from 5 to 1840cSt.
Key Features:Fast and easy to use, ElcoCalc™ instantly converts viscosity cup flow time in seconds into Centistokes (cSt).ElcoCalc™ is free software that is available on Android and the App Store. Compatible with Android™ mobile devices running Android™ 2.1 or later and also iPod, iPhone and iPad running iOS 4.0 or later.

BS Viscosity Flow CupsThe Elcometer 2354 BS Viscosity Flow Cups are very easy to use instruments made of anodized aluminium with a stainless steel orifice, for measuring the consistency of paints, varnishes and similar products.The measured kinematic viscosity is generally expressed in seconds(s) flow time. If the Standards stipulate conversion methods the flow time can be converted into Centistokes (cSt) using the Elcometer ElcoCalc™ Mobile Apps.
Calibration certificates which offer traceability and assurance that each viscosity cup has been individually tested and comply to Standards are also available.
The cups can be supplied separately or with an adjustable stand which includes a precision level and an overflow glass draw plate. They can also be supplied with a flow jacket for temperature control (thermojacket).

The Elcometer 2215 Lory Viscosity Cup is a conventional cylindrical cup with a needle fixed into the bottom for quick measurements on-site or during production. The cup is first dipped into the product to be measured, then empties through the escape hole. Unlike other Viscosity cups, the flow time is measured as soon as the point of the needle appears.

The Elcometer Shell Viscosity Dip Cups are stainless steel cups for quick measurements on-site or during production. These dip cups are often used in the printing or ink industry.

Simply dip the cup into the product to be measured, lift it out and measure how long it takes for the contents to empty through the orifice.

The measured kinematic viscosity is generally expressed in seconds (s) flow time, which can be converted into Centistokes (cSt).

Elcometer viscosity dip cups are available in six different orifice sizes for measurements between 2 and 1300cSt.

The measured kinematic viscosity is generally expressed in seconds(s) flow time. If the Standards stipulate conversion methods the flow time can be converted into Centistokes (cSt). Elcometer offers the option to order viscosity cups complete with calibration certificates which offer traceability and assurance that the viscosity cups have been individually tested and comply to Standards. The cups can be supplied separately or with an adjustable stand which includes a precision level and an overflow glass draw plate. The stand can also be supplied with a flow jacket for temperature control (thermojacket).

Standard oils have a specific drain time, dependent upon the viscosity cup type (Ford, Shell, Zahn etc.) and the orifice or cup number used.

To check the viscosity cup, use the standard viscosity oils in place of the liquid and measure the drain time.

Specific calibration oils can only be used with specific flow and dip cups. Please use the table below to determine which calibration oil is required with each cup, or contact Elcometer. Viscosity oils are supplied in ½ litre (1 pint) bottles.
