The stands for flow cups are supports that are used to carry out viscosity tests correctly with Ford, ISO and DIN flow cups. During flow-time measurement, the cup must remain stable, correctly positioned and perfectly level in order to reduce operating variables that could affect the result.
The stand makes it possible to position the flow cup correctly during filling and the subsequent flow-time measurement. The built-in spirit level allows the alignment of the cup to be checked before the test, an important condition when working with methods based on liquid flow through an orifice.
The stands are intended for use with Ford, ISO and DIN flow cups. They are therefore the essential support for the bench versions of cups used to measure the viscosity of paints, inks, enamels, resins and liquids compatible with this type of control.
They are not intended for use with Zahn cups, which are dip cups and follow a different operating method. Likewise, the stands do not apply to the manual SAFC125/4P and SAFC127/4P versions, which are designed to be used directly in the hand.
The range includes several stand models, selected according to the required configuration and testing context. Versions with a square frame, tripod, made of stainless-steel and a double-walled thermostatic jacket are available, useful where the test requires greater control of operating conditions.
The SAFC136 model is supplied in a carrying-case set and can be provided with a flow cup of choice. In this case, the required cup must be specified when placing the order, so that the kit can be configured according to the intended test method.
Using a stand is particularly important for repeated inspections, quality-control laboratories and tests in which flow-time measurement must be performed consistently from one sample to another. A cup that is not positioned correctly can make the test less controlled and affect the comparability of results.
The stands for flow cups are therefore an essential accessory for the correct use of bench Ford, ISO and DIN flow cups, helping keep the cup stable, aligned and ready for a more controlled flow-time measurement.

FAQ – Stands for flow cups
What are flow cup stands used for?
They are used to keep the flow cup stable, correctly positioned and level during viscosity testing based on flow-time measurement.
Which cups are SAFC13 stands used with?
The stands are used with bench Ford, ISO and DIN flow cups.
Why is it important to use a stand with bench flow cups?
The cup must remain stable and correctly aligned during filling and flow-time measurement. The stand allows the test to be performed in a more controlled and repeatable manner.
Are the stands used with Zahn cups?
No. Zahn cups are dip cups and are not used with these stands.
Are the stands used with the manual SAFC125/4P and SAFC127/4P versions?
No. SAFC125/4P and SAFC127/4P are designed for hand-held use and are used directly in the hand.
Which stand models are available?
The range includes SAFC130, SAFC131, SAFC132, SAFC133 and SAFC136, with different configurations based on the intended use.
What is the spirit level on the stand used for?
The spirit level makes it possible to check that the cup is correctly positioned before the test, an important condition for orderly flow-time measurement.
Does the SAFC136 model also include the flow cup?
The SAFC136 set can be supplied with a flow cup of choice. The required cup must be specified when placing the order.
In which contexts are flow cup stands used?
They are used in laboratories, production and quality-control activities where viscosity tests are carried out with bench Ford, ISO or DIN flow cups.
