Viscosity

The extent to which a liquid resists a tendency to flow is defined as viscosity. In the coatings industry, this behavior is one of the key parameters.

Elcometer manufactures and supplies a wide range of viscosity gauges from flow cups and dip cups to rotational or cone and plate viscometers.

Flow Cups:- The process of flow through an orifice can often be used as a relative measurement and classification of viscosity. This measured kinematic viscosity is generally expressed in seconds of flow time which can be converted into Centistokes using a viscosity disc calculator.

Dip Cups:- Using the same principle as flow cups, dip cups - Frikmar, Zahn, Shell, etc. - can be used to provide a quick viscosity measurement on the shop floor or on site.

Rotational:- Rotational viscometers are used to determine the viscosity of liquids which do not depend solely on temperature and pressure. The behavior of non-Newtonian liquids which can be determined using a range of rotational viscometers in particular the Cone and Plate viscometers.
