Bostwick Consistometer, Standard

Bostwick Consistometer – Trusted Standard for Consistency & Flow Testing

The Consistometer is a low cost, rugged for checking laboratory or production samples against viscosity standards. It helps to maintain quality control standards by giving accurate and reliable measurements. It takes up little bench space and is probably the simplest, most accurate way to do a range of flow tests. It is already used in the chemical, paint, cosmetic and food processing industries.

The consistometer gives you one parameter for a range of tests that can be done over any time period under as near identical conditions as possible. It’s used for measuring consistency and to determine the properties of materials. To get accurate results you need to fill the device correctly with the sample material, which is held in the reservoir before measurement. The instrument ensures reproducibility of results by maintaining consistent conditions, and the distance travels is measured over a specific time interval or given time interval.

The Consistometer or Bostwick Consistometer is made with engraved graduations at 0.5 cm intervals. The stainless steel construction provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance, making it long lasting and easy to maintain.

To ensure reproducibility the instrument is leveled using the two leveling screws and spirit level. The leveling screws are essential for precise positioning and accurate results.
