Provides a procedure for determining the viscosity of paint using the cone-and-plate viscometer.

This Standard provides a method of determining the viscosity of paint samples using the cone-and-plate viscometer at a nominal temperature of 25C.NOTE: The suitability and applicability of this method is discussed in AS 1580.214.0.
