The TQC Sheen AFNOR Viscosity Cup (Laboratory) is a flow-time viscosity cup for paint, lacquer, ink and coatings viscosity testing to NF T030-014 – the French AFNOR standard for laboratory flow-cup viscosity measurement. Manufactured by our TQC Sheen paint testing specialist brand, each laboratory cup is titanium anodized aluminum with a stainless steel nozzle.
Used by French and francophone paint manufacturers, coatings QC laboratories working to NF specifications, automotive coating suppliers in French markets, industrial coating applicators in continental European markets, and coating manufacturers exporting to French-specification projects – the AFNOR cup gives a defensible flow-time viscosity result recognized across the French coatings industry and by end customers with NF-referenced specifications.
Multiple orifice options cover kinematic viscosity from low-viscosity thinners through heavy coatings, so QC laboratories testing across a broad paint portfolio only need one cup family. Each cup includes a hard plastic storage case with soft protective inside, an engraved unique serial number, a factory batch certificate as standard, and the option for individual calibration certification with certified oils on request. Use with a TQC Sheen Ring Stand or Tripod Stand (sold separately).
Defensible paint QC data to NF T030-014. Compliant with the French AFNOR standard specified across the French and francophone paint industry – so QC data stands up under coating manufacturer specification audit, end-customer QC review and NF-referenced project acceptance.
Multiple orifice sizes cover thin thinners through heavy coatings. Multiple orifice options mean QC laboratories testing across a broad paint portfolio only need one cup family rather than mixing incompatible instrument types across low-viscosity thinners and heavy industrial coatings.
Available online, unique serial number, factory certificate as standard. Buy online with dispatch within 2 days. Every cup is engraved with a unique serial number and supplied with a batch factory certificate; individual calibration certification with certified oils is available on request for QMS traceability.

Multiple orifice sizes are available (typically 2 mm for very thin liquids and thinners, 4 mm for standard paints and mixed lacquers – the most commonly ordered size, 6 mm for heavy paints and industrial coatings, and 8 mm for very viscous liquids and thick varnishes). Confirm the exact orifice options and cSt ranges available from the variant dropdown above and the TQC AFNOR Cups product sheet.
Both are laboratory flow-time viscosity cups made from titanium anodized aluminum for paint QC testing. The AFNOR cup complies with the French NF T030-014 standard; the ISO 2431 cup complies with the international ISO 2431 standard (widely adopted across DIN and EN). Choose based on the standard your customer or specification calls for – AFNOR for French-market and NF-specified work, ISO 2431 for broader international and European use.
The TQC Sheen AFNOR Viscosity Cup (Laboratory) is designed to comply with NF T030-014 – the French AFNOR standard for determination of paint and varnish flow time using flow cups. NF T030-014 is specified across the French and francophone paint industry and by coating manufacturers exporting to French-specification projects.
Every cup is engraved with a unique serial number and supplied with a production batch factory certificate as standard. For QMS traceability and higher-tier accreditation requirements, individual calibration certification with certified oils is available on request – contact our support team to arrange.
