Le viscosimètre : Cet appareil permet de mesurer la viscosité de la peinture, par référence au temps d'écoulement de celle-ci au travers d'un orifice calibré. Il se compose d'un godet [...] ayant à sa base un orifice calibré de 4 mm de diamètre. La peinture est versée dans le godet, jusqu'à la limite de sa contenance, le trou d'écoulement étant bouché avec le doigt. 2, record 1, French, - godet%20de%20viscosim%C3%A8tre

For thin printing inks (gravure, flexo), viscosity is commonly measured using a viscosity cup such as a Shell cup or a Zahn cup. The cup is a reservoir with a calibrated opening at the bottom. The viscosity is reported as the time of flow for the cupful to empty through the hole; it is reported in seconds for the continuous flow through the hole to break, signifying that the cup is essentially empty; the temperature for testing the material is critical and should be specified and noted. 1, record 2, English, - viscosity%20cup
