Viscosity measurement:
To test the viscosity of liquid using ford cup. Liquid has to filled in ford cup and time is measured when its flow through a standard orifices. All measurement using ford cups is done at room temperature i.e. 25 to 27 degree Celsius.
The following formula is used to convert the time flow in second t, to kinetic viscosity V (cSt)
V1 = 0.49 (t − 35.0)
V2 = 1.44 (t − 18.0)
V3 = 2.31 (t − 6.58)
V4 = 3.85 (t − 4.49)
V5 = 12.1 (t − 2.00)
For example:
If you want to determine the viscosity of the oil fist we have to find the time in second.

Supposed time is 46 second the put it into given formula for
V1= 0.49(46-35)
= 5.39 cSt
Similarly for V2
V2 = 1.44 (46 − 18.0)
V2 = 40.32 cSt
For
V3 = 2.31 (46− 6.58)
= 91.06 cSt
For
V4 = 3.85 (46 − 4.49)
151.767 cSt
And for
V5 = 12.1 (46− 2.00)
=532.4 cSt
Cup Care:
nder each measurement clean the cup using proper suitable solvent and wipe using soft and clean cotton or tissue paper.
