Description
The TQC Sheen DIN 53211 Immersion Viscosity Cup is a professional dip-type viscosity cup designed for fast and reliable measurement of paints, coatings, lacquers, inks, and other liquid products. Equipped with a fixed stainless-steel nozzle and a long loop handle, it allows users to quickly assess viscosity directly from containers, tanks, or vats.
Available in titanium-anodized aluminum, stainless steel, and laboratory-grade DR10 versions, this cup is built for durability, chemical resistance, and consistent performance in industrial or laboratory environments.

How it Works
- Mount the viscosity cup securely in a tripod or leveling stand and make sure the cup is perfectly horizontal and level. Use a spirit level to verify alignment.
- Close the bottom orifice with your finger to prevent flow while filling.
- Pour the test liquid into the cup until it is completely full and slightly overflowing. Take care to avoid entrained air or bubbles.
- Level off the excess fluid with a clean glass plate or straightedge so the liquid surface is exactly flush with the cup rim. Remove any droplets from the outside of the cup.
- Remove your finger from the orifice and start the timer simultaneously as the liquid begins to flow.
- Stop the timer at the first visible break in the steady stream — this is the official flow time.
- Convert the measured flow time to kinematic viscosity (cSt) using the appropriate conversion chart or disc, and record the result.
- Repeat the measurement (minimum three times) under the same controlled temperature conditions and take the average for best accuracy.
This tripod/stand method eliminates tilting and handling errors and ensures highly repeatable.
