Consistometer: Specification

Checks Consistency, Viscosity or Flow Rate Standards

The Consistometer is low cost, durable and simple instrument widely used by industry to evaluate the consistency of viscous materials.

It provides a single parameter for a variety of flow tests which can be carried out over any period under as near identical conditions as possible.

The Consistomer is manufactured from stainless steel engraved with a series of precise graduations at 0.5 cm intervals. The sample is initially retained in a reservoir behind a spring loaded gate prior to testing.

Method Of Use
A measured sample, usually 75 ml, is placed in the reservoir behind the gate. (Fig.1)

The gate is released, by pressing the lock release lever, while the spring action ensures it opens instantaneously. (Fig.2)

As the fluid flows down the instrument its progress can be accurately measured using the graduated scale. By comparing the flow rate to specified time periods the physical properties of the sample can be calculated. (Fig.3)

To ensure accurate reproducibility the instrument is levelled using the adjustment screws and spirit level.
