However, that viscosity is not measured under just any set of conditions or done with just any viscometer. All aspects of paint flow, including stirring, pumping, transferring, sagging, and application involve shearing actions.

Optimum viscosity for paint application

For unusual and more complicated applications, accessories are also available: low viscosity adapter, small sample adapter, thermochamber accessory, and byko-visc helio stand .The byko-visc models have a user calibration feature to allow for re-calibration of the viscometer. There is no need to return the viscometer to BYK-Gardner for calibration.
