Description
The TQC Sheen AFNOR Viscosity Cups are laboratory-type viscosity measurement tools manufactured for precise and repeatable testing of liquid viscosity in accordance with the AFNOR NF T030-014 standard. Built from high-quality titanium-anodized aluminum, each viscosity cup features a fixed orifice for consistent flow measurement and is supplied in a protective storage case. These cups are widely used across industries such as coatings, inks, food and beverage, automotive and aerospace for quality control and research purposes.

How It Works
- Mount the viscosity cup on a suitable stand (e.g., tripod or ring stand) to ensure stable positioning.
- Pour your test liquid into the cup until it reaches the fill level.
- Start a timer as the liquid begins to flow through the calibrated orifice.
- Stop the timer once the continuous flow breaks into drops.
- Convert the measured flow time into kinematic viscosity (cSt) using a viscosity conversion chart or disc under controlled temperature conditions.
This laboratory method using a fixed orifice and a stable stand produces accurate and repeatable measurements, making it suitable for quality control and formulation testing.
