Ford Viscosity Cups
Ford Viscosity Cups are BYK-Gardner flow cups used to measure the viscosity of paints, coatings, inks, varnishes, lacquers, adhesives, resins, and other liquid materials quickly and practically. These tools help users evaluate material flow behavior based on flow time, making them highly useful for quality control, batch comparison, formulation adjustment, and checking material readiness before application.
In testing with Ford Viscosity Cups, the liquid sample is filled into the cup, then the time required for the material to flow out through the orifice is measured in seconds. The longer the flow time, the higher the material viscosity. This method is simple, repeatable, and widely used to check paint and coating consistency in laboratories and production areas.
Ford Viscosity Cups are made with a solid bar aluminum body and stainless steel orifice to support durability, accuracy, and easy cleaning. These cups are available in several orifice numbers to match different material viscosity ranges. This product is suitable for paint viscosity control, coating viscosity testing, ink evaluation, varnish testing, lacquer testing, adhesive testing, resin evaluation, and viscosity testing according to ASTM D333, ASTM D365, and ASTM D1200.
