Scope and field of application

Determination of paint flow time. Varnishes and similar coatings are used to obtain characteristic values that can be used as a simple aid in assessing the fluidity and suitability of such products.

VAN 53211-1987 “Bepaling van de uitvloeitijd met behulp van DIN-stroombekers voor verven, vernissen en soortgelijke coatingmaterialen”

DIN flow cups are not suitable for determining flow rates of less than 25 seconden (corresponding to kinematic viscosity of about 90 mm2/s). When using an ISO 2431 flow cup, the flow time should not exceed 150 seconden (equivalent to a kinemical viscosity of approximately 700 mm2/s).
