DIN 53211-4 Lacquers, Paints and Similar Coating Materials Determining Flow Time Using DIN Cups

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of DIN 53211-4 testing. Determining the flow time of varnish, paint and similar coating materials serves to obtain a key figure by which the flow of such materials can be easily and adequately evaluated for operational purposes.

The DIN cup is not suitable for times less than 25 seconds. For this, one of the ISO containers according to DIN ISO 2431 must be used. It should also not be used to determine the flow time of substances with a flow time of more than 150 seconds.

Flow time is the time in seconds determined according to this standard for the liquid to flow out of the DIN cup. It is indicated by a number corresponding to the value of the pause time and the addition of DIN seconds.

According to DIN 53 225, the average sample is taken from the product to be tested. The sample must be free from foreign matter. It is immediately filled into an hermetically sealed sample storage container. The flow time is determined after waiting until there are no more air bubbles in the sample.
