The Ford Cup measures the viscosity (thickness or flow rate) of liquids like paints, inks, and varnishes. It provides stable and repeatable readings for routine laboratory and production checks. Liquid flows naturally through a precisely sized orifice under gravity, and the recorded flow time with a stopwatch can be converted into viscosity values using standard reference tables.
Testronix Instruments is leading manufacturer and supplier of Ford Cup in India. To Get the best price, request a quote or call us now!
The Ford Cup does not need power, is easy to use and can operate with low to medium viscosity materials. Its simple design makes it very minimal in terms of its maintenance, though it provides consistent and reliable outcomes when it comes to quality control and testing.
Applications
• Viscosity testing of paints, inks, varnishes, and solvent based liquids
• Quick verification of batch -to-batch consistency
• Evaluation of flow behavior for coatings and thin fluids
• Routine quality control in laboratory and production environments
Standards Followed
Testronix Ford Cups are manufactured under international testing standards as determined by ASTM D1200, ASTM D333 and ISO 2431, as well as other similar liquid measurement standards. This creates a standardized, precise and repeatable method for accurately measuring the viscosity of paints (as well as similar liquids), inks, coatings and other related materials.
