Check Fluid Viscosity
To check fluid viscosity you will need:
•a viscosity cup
•a stopwatch.
1.Completely submerge the viscosity cup in the fluid. Lift the cup out quickly, starting the stopwatch as soon as the cup is completely removed.
2.Watch the stream of fluid coming from the bottom of the cup. As soon as there is a break in the stream, shut off the stopwatch.
3.Record the fluid type, elapsed time, and size of the viscosity cup.
4.If the viscosity is too high or too low, contact the material supplier and adjust as necessary.
