Ford Viscosity Cups

Ford Standard Ford Cups

• Orifice sizes: No. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
• The flow formula for each cup in the series has been selected to provide results, which are as close as possible to an average of other similar Ford Cups. The flow formula as applied to the physical dimensions of each cup in the series has been confirmed with the use of standard oils traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology and other liquids from essentially zero viscosity to a viscosity proportional to 150 seconds flow time.
• The top interior of the orifice has been shaped to provide a sharper break in the stream as the cup empties. The design also provides for a better definable orifice length with respect to theory.
• The taper fit of the orifice eliminates hard to clean areas.
• The orifice is readily removable with furnished wood dowel and inserted without the use of tools.
• The design of the cup bottom gives increased protection to orifice.
• The drip ring has been deepened to accommodate a greater amount of material
• ± 2% Production Tolerance
• Cup No. 5 compatible to requirements of federal specification MMM-A-121 for adhesives
• Qualify under MIL STD 45662A & conform to ISO 9000 when ordered with calibration certification.
• A specially designed tripod support is available to enhance the use of the cup.
• Weight of the cup has been reduced 20% to minimize influence of cup temp on the temp of the material being measured.
