Description
The TQC Sheen DIN 53211 Immersion Viscosity Cup is a dip/immersion-type flow cup designed to measure the viscosity of paints, coatings, lacquers, inks and other liquid coatings. Available in durable titanium-anodized aluminum or stainless-steel variants, each cup is equipped with a fixed stainless-steel nozzle and a long loop handle. The cup is portable and ideal for quick viscosity checks directly in containers or vats — suitable for production-floor use, quality control or site-inspection.
The Ø 4 mm orifice is according to DIN 53211, there are different sizes available where the inner dimensions are similar to DIN 53211.

How it Works
- Immerse the cup completely into the liquid to be tested, using the long handle for safe handling.
- Lift the cup vertically from the liquid and simultaneously start timing as the liquid begins to drain through the nozzle.
- Record the flow time until the liquid stream breaks (flow-break point).
- Use a viscosity conversion chart or disc to convert flow time to kinematic viscosity (in cSt).
- For consistent and reliable results: ensure the fluid is homogeneous, test temperature is stable, and repeat the measurement if required.
This “dip-and-drain” method offers a quick and practical way to estimate viscosity — ideal for routine quality control, production checks, or pre-application inspection of coatings and fluids.
