ASTM D 4212 - 99 (Reapproved 2005) Standard Test Method for Viscosity by Dip-Type Viscosity Cups

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Current edition approved May 15, 2005. Published June 2005. Originally approved in 1982. Last previous edition approved in 1999 as D 4212 – 99. 6 p. This test method covers the determination of viscosity of paints, varnishes, lacquers, inks, and related liquid materials by dip-type viscosity cups. This test method is recommended for viscosity control work within one plant or laboratory and should be used to check compliance with specifications only when sufficient controls have been instituted to ensure adequate comparability of results.
