Description
TQC Sheen Zahn Viscosity Cups (Dip/Immersion Type) are precision-engineered instruments designed according to ASTM D1084 and D4212 standards, ideal for quick and accurate viscosity measurement of coatings, paints, lacquers, and other fluids during application or production processes.
Manufactured from high-quality materials and featuring a long loop handle for convenient dipping, these Zahn cups allow operators to measure viscosity directly from the container, making them a practical choice for on-site and laboratory use. The flow through the orifice provides a relative viscosity measurement, expressed in seconds of flow time, which can easily be converted into Centistokes (cSt) using a viscosity conversion disc or calculator.
Each Zahn cup is supplied in a durable hard plastic case with soft protective interior lining, ensuring maximum protection during transport or storage. This makes them perfect for both mobile testing environments and busy laboratory setups.
Available Zahn Viscosity Cups (ASTM D1084 / D4212):
| Model | Description | Orifice | Viscosity Range (cSt) | Flow Time (s) | Suitable For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VF2226 | Zahn Cup No. 1 | 2 mm | 60 cSt | 35–80 s | Very thin liquids |
| VF2227 | Zahn Cup No. 2 | 2.7 mm | 20–250 cSt | 20–80 s | Thin oils, mixed paints, lacquers |
| VF2228 | Zahn Cup No. 3 | 3.8 mm | 100–800 cSt | 20–80 s | Medium oils, paints, enamels |
| VF2229 | Zahn Cup No. 4 | 4.3 mm | 200–1200 cSt | 20–80 s | Viscous liquids, coatings |
| VF2230 | Zahn Cup No. 5 | 5.3 mm | 400–1800 cSt | 20–80 s | Very viscous liquids, mixtures |
(All values approximate at 25°C for reference purposes.)
