TQC Sheen Viscosity Cup (Disposable), similar to DIN 53211

Brought to you by TQC Sheen, our specialist paint testing brand, our disposable viscosity cup is precise, easy-to-use and suitable for production, shop floor or laboratory testing. 

Our disposable viscosity cup is based on DIN 53211 and offers much of the same testing functionality and performance as their metal counterparts. But because it is made of plastic, the disposable cup can be cost effective for smaller budgets and timesaving too – with no cleaning needed after use.  

The disposable viscosity cup is the perfect viscosity testing solution for quick and easy measurements, whether you’re preparing samples or working in production control. 

Multipurpose viscosity testing 

Our viscosity cups can be used to measure inks and coatings, liquids, liquid foods and beverages. They’re relied upon by our customers for accurate testing of a diverse range of products – from cosmetics and foods through to paints.  

Quality viscosity cup testing – as standard!  

Plastic or metal, all TQC Sheen viscosity cups are manufactured under stringent quality control procedures. As the name suggests, our DIN 53211 viscosity cups are designed or based on to meet the requirements of DIN 53211 testing. 

Viscosity cups for all occasions

We make a wide range of viscosity cups of all different shapes, and sizes and for lots of different types of viscosity testing. Some of the options to pour through include our ASTM D1200 Immersion Ford Viscosity Cup as well as the ISO 2431 Viscosity Cup and a metal version of this plastic cup – DIN 53211 Viscosity Cup.  

Through TQC Sheen, our paint testing specialist brand, we also make lots of viscosity testing accessories such as tripod stands and temperature control jackets. For viscosity testing timed to perfection, be sure to check out the TQC Sheen Digital Stopwatch. 

What is viscosity cup testing? 

Viscosity cup testing helps you to measure the consistency of paints, lacquers, varnishes and other similar products. Simply put, a viscosity cup measures and classifies the process of flow through an orifice.
