I can tell you how to test viscosity of paint as I have seen my painter do it a few times. First, I want you to know that the viscosity of paint indicates its ability to resist flow. Plus, the liquids’ flow characteristics relate directly to the internal friction degree.

As a result, anything that affects the internal friction (e.g. thinners, solvents, or temperature change) will affect the flow. Additionally, the flow characteristics help you find out how well it flows out of the spray gun and how well the paint atomises.
Therefore, viscosity control is important to get a uniform finishing surface. Generally, paint suppliers recommend the best viscosity to apply the paint chosen for a specific task.

How to Measure Viscosity of Paint: Different MethodsThere are several methods to determine the viscosity of the paint and all methods may have 1 or more units of measurement:
Gardner-Holt Bubble MethodThe time required for an air bubble to rise through a quantity of the material in a tube is the Gardner-Holt Bubble Method.
Centipoise or PoiseThe resistance provided by the material to a falling body passing through it, generally a ball of specific weight and size, is Centipoise or Poise (100 poises).
Krebs (KU’s)The measurement of resistance to movement of a device through the paint in a rotary motion (like a fork or a paddle), is expressed in KUs (Krebs Units).
