PCE Instruments PCE-125/4 Viscosity cup 1 pc(s)

Ford outlet/International Standard ASTM D1200, D333 and D365Machine-made, anodized aluminum with replaceable stainless steel nozzleFord dispensing cups are used for easy and quick measurement of liquids to determine their viscosity. However, it must be taken into account that this is only possible with low viscosity liquids. Viscous pastes and other substances with a high viscosity are not suitable for measuring with a discharge cup. The design of a outfeed cup is standardized according to DIN and thus always the same. It consists of a cylindrical hollow body which in most cases ends in a replaceable nozzle. The openings of the nozzles as well as the beaker are subject to a DIN standard.A measurement is performed as follows. First hold the nozzle below and fill the substance to be measured. Make sure that the cup is filled up to the top. An overflow channel prevents the measurement from being falsified by liquid passing through the sides. Then the glass plate is pushed over the edge of the cup to remove any excess material. Now you can open the nozzle again. Due to the resulting vacuum, the material remains in the cup. If you pull the glass plate horizontally from the beaker, you must activate the spatula clock. As soon as the flowing current tears for the first time, you have to stop the time and record it.When using a spout cup, it is particularly important to clean it thoroughly after each measurement, as residues in the nozzle and the cup can falsify further results. Even deep or many scratches in the cup can lead to measurement uncertainties in the result, since the material removed changes the volume of the cup and thus no longer complies with the specified DIN standard.
