Abstract: A hydraulic press flow viscometer is provided for spray testing viscous materials for high pressure applications using a relatively small sample size. A hydraulic press forces the sample from its container to a spray assembly. The spray testing system is capable of accurately simulating robotic applications in assembly plants by controlling material temperature, material pressure and robot speed. A method is also provided for performing high pressure spray tests on material samples using the hydraulic spray testing system.
