| Norcross® Shell Viscosity Cup |
 |
|
| The Shell Cup is a simple, reliable device for measuring the viscosity of a wide range of fluids. Originally developed for use with printing inks, it has found widespread applications as diverse as fuel oil and industrial finishes - for calibrating other viscosity sensors as well as for primary measurements. The cup is available in eight different sizes. |

| How To Measure Viscosity With The Shell Cup |
- Submerge the cup in the fluid for approximately 30 seconds to allow the cup to come to sample temperature. The sample must be representative of the actual material to be tested, i.e. thoroughly stirred and at the normal operating temp.
- Lift the cup vertically out of the fluid, starting the stop-watch as the cup breaks the surface.
- Record the time required for the cup to empty, stopping the watch when the stream breaks.
- Read the viscosity from the appropriate conversion charts or calibration drawings. Variations in cup drain time are commonly a result of dirty or damaged cups or human error. Cups should be kept clean and the orifice should not be cleaned with any kind of sharp object. If it is necessary for you to maintain calibration procedures we suggest the following:
A. Obtain at least two cups, of the size you intend to use.
B. Select a standard oil sample (from below), or a sample of one of your products (whose viscosity you can test by some laboratory method, used by your company) and measure its viscosity with all the cups. Be sure to note the sample’s temperature The drain time for each cup should be within 1 second of each other.
C. Keep one of the cups as your ‘master’. Do not let this go to the process but keep it in a secure area with notes on when it was used and results of such use.
D. Periodically bring in the cups, from the process, and repeat the test done in Step B. So long as the field cups are within ±1 second of the master cup they are considered within original Shell Cup specifications. If you require “traceability” you may want to use a NIST Cup. This is a cup which has been measured and shipped with a certificate which details the exact dimensions of the cup. This certifies that the critical dimensions are within the acceptable machining tolerances for that cup. These dimensions are measured using NIST traceable gauges.
