BYK-Gardner Ford Viscosity Cups are guaranteed to be within 3%
(drain time of calibration oil) throughout the recommended use
range.
For low viscosity liquids
Body made of solid bar aluminum
Stainless steel orifice
Calibrated against standard oils referenced to certified
NIST oils (National Institute of Standards and Technology
of United States)
Certified cups available on request
DIN Flow Cup
This cup holds 100 ml } 1 ml, and has an integrated orifice with
a diameter of 4 mm } 0.02 mm.
For low viscosity liquids
Body made of anodized aluminum
Stainless steel orifice, interior polished
Calibrated against standard oils referenced to certified PTB
oils (Federal Institute of Physics and Metrology of Germany)
to be within 3% (drain time of calibration oil)
ISO Flow Cup
This cup has a longer orifice, less tapered body and slightly
different inner dimensions than the DIN 53211* flow cup and
thus provides different efflux times. The extended measurement
range makes the ISO cup a useful supplement of the DIN cup.
Recommended for international use
Body made of anodized aluminum
Stainless steel orifice, interior polished
Calibrated against standard oils referenced to certified PTB
oils to be within 3% (drain time of calibration oil)
