Ford Vis­cos­ity Cups

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)
