Ultrimax Viscosity Flow Cup - Ford 4

Product Description

This instrument is widely used to evaluate the adhesion of various coatings. A highly precise machined wheel presenting 6 or 11 cutting blades with various spacing is mounted in a handle. The test is carried out by performing 2 series of crossed cuts at right angle. The obtained lattices is either brushed or cleared with adhesion tape. According to the coatings thickness and the related spacing, the results can be classified with reference to a standard scale. It has long life tool with 6 cutting edges and comfortable wood handle.

When applied to multi-coat system, assessment of the resistance to separation of individual layers of the coating from each other may be made.    

The Cross Hatch Cutters conforms with the requirements of:
BS 3900 E6; BS/EN ISO 2409; ASTM D 3359 D 3302;

The efflux time, measured in seconds, is often sufficient for a relative classification. It is determined using flow cups of various designs. Flow cups, originally designed to perform quick viscosity and consistency evaluations of Newtonian or near Newtonian products, can provide a high degree of accuracy and repeatability depending on the quality of their manufacture.

    Flow cups hold a defined volume of liquid which flows through an orifice. Results are expressed as time in seconds for the liquid to flow through the orifice until the first break in the efflux stream occurs.

ISO 5 Flow cup - Orifice diameter - 5mm.

ISO Flow Cups produced by Biuged are in accordance with International Standards ISO 2431,DIN 53224, EN 535; ASTM D5125 (Paints and varnishes-Determination of flow time by Use of Flow Cups (Fourth edition)). They are made of high quality aluminum and feature stainless steel nozzle inserts(specification dependent) .They are mirror polished＆smooth finished for high efflux accuracy and easy maintenance. ISO Flow Cups are applicable to determine the flow time of Newtonian and near Newtonian fluids.

Ford Cups produced by Biuged are in accordance with International Standards ASTM D1200, D333, and D365. For easy measurement of the viscosity of paints, inks, lacquers and other liquids. All Biuged Ford cups are machined anodic oxidation aluminum with removable stainless steel orifice and are guaranteed to be within 2% throughout the recommended range of use.

A portable flow cup with handle for easy measuring on site.  

Orifice Diameter - 4.0mm
