ASTM D 1200 - 94 (Reapproved 2005) Standard Test Method for Viscosity by Ford Viscosity Cup

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Current edition approved May 15, 2005. Published June 2005. Originally approved in 1952. Last previous edition approved in 1999 as D 1200 – 94 (1999). 4 p. This test method covers the determination of the viscosity of Newtonian or near-Newtonian paints, varnishes, lacquers, and related liquid materials with the Ford-type efflux viscosity cup. If the material is non-Newtonian, that is, shear-thinning or thixotropic, Test Method D 2196 should be used.
