Elcometer Viscosity Cup Standard Calibration Oils
In order to check a viscosity cup’s calibration or to certify it for ISO purposes, it is imperative that viscosity cup standard calibration oils are used.
Standard oils have a specified drain time, dependent upon the viscosity cup type (Ford, Shell, Zahn, etc) and the orifice size or cup number used.
To check the viscosity cup, use the standard viscosity oils in place of the liquid and measure the drain time.
Specific calibration oils can only be used with specific flow and dip cups. Please refer to the table below to establish which oil is required for each cup.
All viscosity oils are supplied in ½ litre (1 pint) bottles.
