What is a Viscosity Cup?
The Ford viscosity cup is a simple gravity device that permits the timed flow of a known volume of liquid passing through an orifice located at the bottom.

How do I choose a viscosity cup?
To select a viscosity cup that will match the needs of your painting you can check the coating data sheets for your coatings and see if a cup is referenced.
You can then consider a viscosity cup conversion chart that shows the range of viscosities a particular cup can measure.
Are viscosity cups accurate?
Measuring viscosity by the use of viscosity cups has become the preferred method for production control due to their ease of use, their rugged nature,
recent improvements in accuracy, and relatively low cost.
Why is high viscosity better?
Low-viscosity oils minimize the friction of engine parts and allow the motor to start faster during cold weather.
On the other hand, high-viscosity oils maintain film strength and thickness. They are perfect for industrial and heavy-duty machinery operating at high temperatures and high pressures.
