GLOSSARY TERM
Viscosity Cup
A tool used to measure the viscosity of paint, ensuring proper consistency for application.
INFO
What it is
A viscosity cup is a simple measuring tool that gauges a paint's viscosity by timing how long it takes to drain through a precise hole in the base. The time gives a consistent viscosity reading.
Why it matters
Spraying well depends on the paint being at the correct consistency. A viscosity cup gives a repeatable check, so coatings are mixed and thinned to spray and flow properly every time.
Where it is used on a project
Used when preparing coatings for spray application, to confirm the viscosity is right for the equipment and product before work begins.
How NECC approaches it
We check and set coatings to the correct viscosity before spraying, so they atomise and lay down properly for a smooth, even finish.
