The bottom of the cup is designed to extend below the orifice This design not only provides adequate stability for the cup when resting upright on a surface, but also protects the orifice from damage. The Gardco Standard Ford Dip Cup has all the advantages listed for the Standard series except it does not have an overflow well at the top of the cup and a red anodized handle is attached for support. Positive orifice identification is assisted by “steps” at the base of the orifice. The orifices for the cup are machined from brass with the exact conical exterior to match the opening in the base of the cup. Note the conical opening for the orifice which permits gentle “tapping in” or “tapping out” of the orifice. The body of the cup is machined from solid bar stock stainless steel. However, this new cup is fitted with a red anodized aluminum handle and the drip ring at the top of the cup has been eliminated. This cup has the same capacity as the Standard Laboratory type Ford Viscosity Cup designed for use with a stand. 5 range extends from 77 to 1413 centistokes

4 range extends from 34 to 441 centistokes, Cup No. 3 range extends from 29 to 251 centistokes, Cup No.

Red Anodized handle for easy identification.The resulting formulas have been solved for each tenth of a second within the recommended range. National Institute of Standards and Technology. 3, 4 & 5 Ford Dip Viscosity Cups, relating efflux time in seconds to viscosity in centistokes, defines cup flow characteristics with respect to standard oils traceable to U.S. Mathematical formulas developed for the Gardco Standard No.
