Description
The Ford Viscometer Set is a professional-grade instrument used to measure the viscosity of paints, coatings, inks, and other low-viscosity liquids with high accuracy. Designed according to ASTM D1200 standards, the set includes precision-crafted Ford cups (typically No. 2, 3, and 4) made of anodized aluminum or stainless steel, along with a sturdy stand and leveling base for consistent, repeatable results.
Ideal for laboratories, QC departments, industrial coatings, and educational use, this set provides a simple, reliable method for flow time-based viscosity measurement.
