philgoddard Mar 8, 2013: Ah! Thank you, Daniela.
Cristina Bufi Poecksteiner, M.A. Mar 8, 2013: viscosità di fornitura, viscosità di applicazione Ho trovato il file di un sito italiano di vernice acrilpoliuretanica lucida in cui sono presenti entrambi i termini: Viscosità di fornitura (Componente A: 120–130 secondi CF4 a 20°C. Componente B: 40–50 secondi CF4 a 20°C). Viscosità di applicazione smalto (20–22 secondi CF4 a 20°C). http://www.barozzivernici.it/images/files/POLYVER_LUC_HS_st.... Nello stesso file si trova tutta la terminologia (scritta per esteso). Buon lavoro.
Daniela Zambrini Mar 8, 2013: @phil yes, it takes from 20 to 23 seconds to flow through a 4 (inch) Ford Viscosity Cup at 20°C
philgoddard Mar 8, 2013: I'm not a scientist, but doesn't " mean seconds?
Cristina Bufi Poecksteiner, M.A. Mar 8, 2013: Thanks Russel. Same units of measurement.
Russell Jones (asker) Mar 8, 2013: I've restored your answer Cristina. Unsure about the units of measurement though.
Russell Jones (asker) Mar 8, 2013: I wondered about viscosity, but the table has "Viscosità" written in full in other boxes of the same size, so it would seem illogical, although the measurement units (20-23”) are expressed the same way.

Ciao Russell I also searched for viscosità + TF4 and they alweas lead to viscosity and temperature, see also this ink

Viscosità 12'' - 15'' TF4 a 20 °C http://www.chiraema.it/d/Reflex/122

T4 is Tazza Ford = Ford Viscosity Cup one of the viscosity measurement units found in the tables in the first link of my answer

	non ho capito, ma non importa

3 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks Daniela. I think Cristina might have a point with the x for horizontal (fornitura) but, in any case I see no reason to change the abbreviation in English."
