The Technology

Checks samples against consistency, viscosity or flow rate standards

The Bostwick Consistometer is invaluable to many industries to standardise production lots. It is a simple, dependable instrument, which accurately determines sample consistency by measuring the distance which a material flows under its own weight.

The unit is manufactured from stainless steel with a 95ml reservoir and has two levelling screws and a level.

A spring-operated gate is held by a positive release mechanism, permitting instantaneous flow of sample to be measured.

The trough is graduated in 0.5cm divisions to permit accurate measurement of flow. Copmplies to R-81294D and ASTM F1080-93.

Portable and easily cleaned, the Bostwick is available in standard length (24cm trough with 48 0.5cm graduations) and also with an extra long 30cm trough (60 x 0.5cm graduations).  The extra long unit is especially suited to very thin materials, such as soup.

Each unit weighs under 2kgs and is always available from stock for immediate shipment anywhere in the world.
