Bostwick Type Consistometer
Article No. 13755
Bostwick Consistometer
The Bostwick Type Consistometer is designed to determine the flow of a standard volume of thick liquid or semisolid under its own weight. It consists of a stainless steel reservoir with trap door, engraved graduated track with sidewalls and leveling screws with bubble level.
Features
- Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds up under plant conditions
- Engraved graduations in 0.5cm divisions
- Wear & Smear Resistant
- Assures Accurate Results
- Spring loaded gate prevents premature flowing of sample
- 2 leveling screws & spirit level gives you precise positioning of flow angle
- Small size: 14"L x 3-1/2"W x 5-1/2"H, uses little bench space
- Requires 75ML sample
- Applications: food processing, paint manufacturing, cosmetic formulation and chemical production
- Reproducibility - Viscous materials often vary in consistency dependent upon age, temperature, and shear history. Caution should be exercised between laboratories regarding the history of a sample. Duplicate results by the same operator on the same sample shall be within 0.5 cm
Standards
Meets ASTM Designation: F 1080, Standard Test Method For Determining The Consistency Of Viscous Liquids Using A Consistometer. Meets MIL-R-81294B
Procedure
A 75ML sample of material is poured into the reservoir and the distance of flow in a horizontal direction is read from an engraved ruled track after a fixed time following the materials release from the spring loaded gate reservoir.
