1 ABOUT THIS INSTRUMENT

The Elcometer 2290 Daniel Flow Gauge is a simple but effective instrument which is used to determine the

flow characteristics of thick or paste-like materials such as paints and similar products.

The product being tested is placed in a reservoir on the gauge. When the reservoir is raised to a vertical

position, the product flows out over a graduated plate. The distance travelled by the product over a certain

time is measured and is an indication of the fluidity of the product.

1. Place the instrument on a flat horizontal surface with the product

reservoir horizontal.

2. Pour a quantity of the product to be tested into the reservoir.

3. Rotate the instrument through 90° until the reservoir is vertical and

immediately start a stop watch.

The product runs out of the reservoir and flows out over the graduated

plate.

4. At the end of the time specified, record the distance the product has

flowed over the graduated plate.

5. It is recommended that the test is carried out three times with test times

of 10 s, 30 s and 60 s.

2.3 AFTER THE TEST

Always clean the instrument thoroughly after a test.

After cleaning, ensure that all materials are removed and that the instrument is dry.

Do not use very aggressive solvents or

wire brushes, metal scrapers, metal files or

other metallic tools for cleaning.

Clean the gauge using a suitable solvent

only.
