TQC Sheen: LORY CUP: VISCOSITY CUP

The TQC Sheen Lory Viscosity Cup is a dip-immersion flow cup designed for quick and accurate viscosity checks of paints, coatings and lacquers. With its durable metal construction, cylindrical cup, long handle and simple flow-time measurement method, it is ideal for fast on-site inspections and production quality control.

Description

The TQC Sheen Lory Viscosity Cup is a dip-immersion flow cup designed for quick and practical viscosity measurements during production or on-site inspections. The cup features a cylindrical body with a long handle and a bottom orifice fitted with a needle point. When the cup is immersed into a liquid coating and then lifted out, the flow time until the needle appears indicates the viscosity of the fluid. This makes the Lory Cup a simple yet effective tool for operators and inspectors.
How it Works
1.Immerse the Lory Viscosity Cup completely into the liquid to be tested.
2.Lift the cup vertically and start timing as the liquid begins to flow from the orifice.
3.Stop timing the moment the needle point becomes visible through the bottom opening.
4.The recorded time represents the viscosity of the paint, lacquer, coating, or similar fluid.
5.Repeat the measurement under the same temperature conditions for best accuracy.
The Lory Cup provides fast, repeatable viscosity readings without the need for complex instruments, making it ideal for production environments.
