More Information
Cup Factor- Comparative results on different materials measured in the same cup are accurate to within the limits of accuracy of the balances used. Comparative results between cups may be somewhat improved by determining a cup factor as follows: Divide 83.205 by gram weight of water at 25°C (77°F). Example: if the cup actually holds only 83.000 grams, divide 83.205 by 83.000 which equals 1.0025. Multiply all cup readings by this factor of 1.0025. In the same manner if the cup holds 83.400 (grams) divide 83.205 by 83.400 which equals 0.9977. Multiply all readings by this factor of 0.9977.
Care of Cups- There are numerous grades of Stainless Steel and all of them will corrode under adverse environmental conditions. A common type of Stainless Steel is the 300 Series which is most usually produced in sheets for forming into vats, kettles and the like. This series is highly resistant to corrosion under normal use conditions. It is very difficult, however, to machine this type where close tolerance and smoothness of finish are requirements. Prior to the middle of 1989, Gardco weight per gallon cups were fabricated, using Series 300 Stainless Steel for the sidewall and the more easily machined, but less corrosion resistant, Series 400 Stainless Steel for the base and cover. Since then, with the installation of state of the art computer controlled metal cutting machinery, all Gardco weight per gallon cups are machined from Series 300 Stainless Steel solid bar stock. With the exception of a daily cleaning, Gardco weight per gallon cups are essentially maintenance free. If it is expected that a cup will be stored for an extended period of time, it is recommended that it be given a light coating of protective oil. With only these precautions, the cup should provide long and satisfactory service and retain its original attractive appearance.

Procedure
As a quality control check, errors in composition of a paint will usually be indicated by variations in the pycnometer value. In normal use in the Paint Industry, many specifications will allow a tolerance of about 0.2 pounds per gallon. Any deviation that is larger than this would make the paint suspect regarding the proper amount of ingredients in the batch.
To check the actual capacity of your cup proceed as follows:
- Determine the weight of a clean density cup, with its cover,in grams. As an alternative, the cup may be supplied with an accurate tare weight for use with two-pan laboratory balances. Note: Do not interchange tare weights between cups as each cup and tare weight is matched.
- Remove coverof specific gravity cup and fill to within 1.7mm of rim with material to be tested.
- Carefully replace coverso that the air and excess material is expelled through vent.
- Wipe over coverto remove surplus and reweigh. By subtracting the original weight of the density cup, the weight of the contents will be found. If a tare weight was used at the start, the balance will show the weight of the contents. Clean thoroughly immediately after use.
Test Procedure
- Weigh cleaned density cup empty and record weight
- Temper density cup and test liquid (Refer to appropriate test standard for proper temperature)
- Fill density cup
- Put cover on without tilting
- Avoid air bubbles
- Remove overflowing liquid carefully with absorbent cloth
- Weigh filled density cup
- Calculate density
