Introduction Viscosity Cup With Stand B-4

The viscosity cup with stand B-4 helps quality control teams check liquid consistency in seconds. This Ford-type No.4 cup measures the flow time of paints, inks, varnishes, and similar coatings, so operators confirm viscosity before every batch release. The included stand holds the cup level during filling, and it keeps every reading consistent across repeated tests. Additionally, the cup’s 4.10mm orifice suits materials in the 70–370 cSt range, which covers many thinner industrial coating formulations. Paint manufacturers, printing houses,

Key Features Viscosity Cup With Stand B-4

• Ford 4 Orifice Design — The 4.10mm hole diameter delivers accurate flow-time readings for low-to-medium viscosity liquids.
• Sturdy Stand Included — The stand holds the cup level during filling, so operators achieve repeatable results every time.
• Wide Measurement Range — The cup measures viscosity from 70 to 370 cSt, so it suits thinner paints, inks, and coatings.
• Fast Flow-Time Testing — The cup completes a measurement in 20 to 105 seconds, so QC teams test samples quickly.
• Durable Aluminum Build — The cup body resists corrosion and daily handling in busy lab or production environments.
• Precise 100ml Volume — The cup holds 100±1ml, so it delivers consistent, standardized readings across every test.
• Simple Operation — Users fill the cup, release the flow, and start a stopwatch, so the process requires no complex setup.
• Easy Maintenance — The smooth interior and orifice clean quickly with standard solvents after each

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What does the viscosity cup with stand B-4 measure? The B-4 viscosity cup measures the flow time of liquids such as paints, inks, and coatings, expressed in seconds or converted to centistokes (cSt).

Q2: What is the measurement range of this cup? This cup measures viscosity in the 70–370 cSt range, with a typical flow time between 20 and 105 seconds.

Q3: Why does the cup come with a stand? The stand holds the cup level and steady during filling, so operators get accurate, repeatable readings every time.

Q4: What liquids can I test with this cup? Users test paints, inks, varnishes, lacquers, adhesives, and other similar liquid coatings with this cup.

Q5: How do I clean the cup after use? Operators rinse the cup and orifice with a suitable solvent immediately after each test to prevent residue buildup.

Q6: Does this cup meet international testing standards? Yes, the B-4 cup follows Ford Cup methodology and aligns with ASTM D1200, D333, and D365 testing standards.

Q7: What is the cup’s exact volume? The cup holds 100±1ml of liquid for each standard test.

Q8: How is the B-4 different from the B-6 cup? The B-4 cup uses a smaller 4.10mm orifice and suits thinner liquids in the 70–370 cSt range, while the B-6 cup uses a larger orifice for thicker liquids.

Q9: Does ASTZBD provide a warranty on this product? Yes, ASTZBD backs the Viscosity Cup With Stand B-4 with a 1-year warranty and local support.
