Hello Doug,
Sounds like you need to switch to a Zahn #1 cup. Here is a link to the Zahn cup section of the Guardco website that Lloyd mentioned. http://www.gardco.com/pages/viscosity/vi/s90.cfm
The Zahn #1 cup should be able to read the viscosity of the thinned coating that you are describing.
Best regards,

Subject: [TN] Viscosity Cups
Good afternoon all,
I have a silly question. We conformally coat using a common solvent based acrylic coating. One process control method is to periodically measure coating viscosity using a Zahn #2 cup, which works well for this particular coating that has about a 55-60 second flow. I am finding that when this coating is thinned down for spray, the times are down in the 15-18 second range and the variation is increasing.
So, my question - is there a style of viscosity dip cup, e.g. Ford, DIN, etc., that is more amenable to thin viscosity coatings? It is understood that a precision instrument like a Brookfield viscometer would be preferrable, but production is NOT going to let me get a few dozen of them.
Thanks.
