Description
TQC Viscosity Cup
TQC Viscosity cup is an instrument use to determine a fluid’s thickness and also flow resistance. This is done by introducing a sample of the fluid into a container with a hole in its bottom and recording the time it takes for the container to empty when draining the fluid through the opening. The faster the fluid is drain, the less viscous the fluid is and so vice versa.
The process of flow through an orifice can often be uses as a relative measurement and also classification of viscosity. This measure kinematic viscosity is generally expresses in seconds of flow time. It also can be converte into Centi-stokes using a viscosity disc calculator. Dip cups can be use to provide a quick viscosity measurement on the shop floor or on site.
The dimensions of this flow cup are according to DIN 53211, fitted with a handle, and also referred to as a FRIKMAR cup.
