How to measure viscosity using Elcometer Flow Cups

[@KSuryaMultilabindiaindia]

what is the conversion factor to be used while using AFNOR CUP No 2 , 4 & 6 from time to centistokes?

[@ElcometerOfficialChannel]

Thank you for your question. The AFNOR Cup is used in accordance with the relevant AFNOR standard, which does not provide a formula for converting time into centistokes. This means results from an AFNOR Cup are typically recorded in seconds flow time, and are used comparatively.

Your showing sheet to calculate viscosity from flow time .any formulae is there ??

[@ElcometerOfficialChannel]

Thank you for your comment. When there is a formula available for the Flow Cup you are using, then it will be listed in the relevant Standard. Alternatively you can use an Elcometer 2400 Viscosity Disc, or the free ElcoCalc app for Android and Apple mobile devices to convert the seconds flow time into Centistokes. Please note, not all cups have conversion formulae. If you have any further questions, please contact [e-mail] or visit www.elcometer.com/contact-us to find your local Elcometer distributor.

what about din cup 6 conversion table?

[@ElcometerOfficialChannel]

Thank you for your comment. The DIN 4 cup is the only cup in the standard DIN 53211 with a conversion formula. With DIN 6, you can alternatively measure viscosity using the time.
