This is an instrument used to determine the consistency of viscous materials by measuring the distance that the material flows under its own weight in a given time interval. The instrument allows producers of such viscous products to predetermine formulas for their product and to standardize production lots.

Adjust the feet until the level bubble sits inside the marked circle, then make sure the gate is down and locked into position. For accurate results, make sure the sample you are testing is at a constant temperature, then pour it into the reservoir. Using a knife or a similar straight-edged tool, remove any surplus sample. This should be anything that sits above the top of the reservoir. At the same time, start a stopwatch and release the consistometer gate. Measure how far the sample travels during a pre-established time period.
