    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Describes a method for determination of the flow time of paints, varnishes and related products for the control of consistency. It is intended for testing of materials for which the breakpoint of the flow from the orifice of the flow cup can be determined. It deals with the sampling and testing of paints, varnishes and related products.
