Dip Type DIN 53211 Flow Cup

The Dip Type DIN 53211 Flow Cup is a standard test instrument used for the rapid, practical, and reliable measurement of the viscosity of paints, varnishes, inks, and other liquid materials. Viscosity is a fluid’s resistance to flow and is a key parameter that directly affects coating performance, flow behavior, and application quality.

How Does the Dip-Type Flow Cup Work?

Thanks to its dip-type design, the flow cup can be immersed directly into the liquid being tested. This allows measurements to be performed quickly and conveniently without transferring the sample to a separate container. It is particularly useful for production line monitoring and field applications where speed and ease of use are important.

During the test, the drainage time of the cup is measured using a stopwatch. The recorded flow time is then used to evaluate the viscosity of the liquid. This method is widely used in process control and quality assurance applications.

Precision Manufacturing in Accordance with DIN 53211

Manufactured according to the DIN 53211 standard, these flow cups feature precisely engineered internal geometry to ensure accurate and repeatable results. The flow orifice is made from stainless steel, providing excellent durability and long-term measurement reliability.

The ergonomic handle design allows direct immersion into:

• Production tanks
• Mixing vessels
• Storage containers making the instrument highly convenient for on-site viscosity checks.

Material Options

TQC Dip-Type DIN Flow Cups are available in two material versions; titanium-anodized aluminum and fully stainless steel. These options allow users to select the most suitable model based on their durability and application requirements.

Available Orifice Sizes

Although the DIN 53211 standard primarily specifies a 4 mm orifice diameter, additional versions are available to accommodate different viscosity ranges while maintaining the same internal geometry:

• 2 mm
• 3 mm
• 4 mm
• 5 mm
• 6 mm
• 8 mm

This variety enables accurate measurement of both low- and high-viscosity products.

Applications

The DIN 53211 Dip-Type Flow Cup is widely used in:

• Paint manufacturing
• Varnish applications
• Printing inks
• Coating processes
• Production line inspections
• Quality control operations
• Field measurements

Advantages of the DIN 53211 Dip-Type Flow Cup

The DIN 53211 Dip-Type Flow Cup provides fast, reliable, and repeatable viscosity measurements in applications where viscosity control is critical, helping users optimize production processes and maintain consistent product quality.
