Krebs-Einheiten

Krebs Units (KU) are a measure of viscosity primarily used in the paints and coatings industry. Krebs Units are measured using a Stormer viscometer. A Stormer viscometer utilizes a paddle spindle submerged in the liquid sample. One Krebs Unit is equivalent to the weight in grams required to turn that submerged spindle 100 times in 30 seconds.
