Stainless Steel Viscosity Flow Cup | Multi-Spec Viscometer
Achieve accurate, repeatable viscosity measurements with the Stainless Steel Viscosity Flow Cup. Engineered for professionals and hobbyists alike, this precision flow cup measures the flow rate of inks, paints, coatings, adhesives, and other liquids — giving you reliable, consistent results every time. Available in multiple specifications (orifice sizes) to suit a wide range of fluid viscosities, this tool is an essential addition to any quality-control workflow, print shop, or coatings lab.
This viscosity flow cup is the go-to tool for print technicians, paint formulators, QC inspectors, coatings engineers, and industrial professionals who need fast, accurate fluid viscosity readings without complex equipment. Whether you're standardizing a production line or conducting spot checks in the field, this cup delivers the precision you need.

A: A viscosity flow cup is a precision measurement tool used to determine the flow characteristics of liquids such as inks, paints, and coatings. You fill the stainless steel cup with the fluid, allow it to flow through a calibrated orifice at the bottom, and record the time it takes to empty. This flow time, measured in seconds, corresponds to a viscosity value — enabling consistent quality control across batches.
A: This multi-specification viscosity flow cup is suitable for a wide range of fluids including printing inks, industrial paints, varnishes, lacquers, adhesives, and other liquid coatings. The choice of orifice size (specification) determines which viscosity range can be accurately measured.
A: The correct orifice size depends on the expected viscosity of your fluid. Thinner (low-viscosity) fluids require a smaller orifice for accurate timing, while thicker (high-viscosity) fluids need a larger orifice. This cup set offers 5 specification options so you can select the one best matched to your application — or use multiple cups across different fluid types.
A: Yes. The smooth stainless steel construction resists staining and chemical attack, making it straightforward to clean with appropriate solvents after each use. Regular cleaning of the orifice is recommended to maintain measurement accuracy over time.
