The Bostwick Consistometer is the food industry professional’s preferred tool for measuring the consistency and flow rate of viscous products such as jams, sauces, dressings, and soups.
By measuring how far a sample flows under its own weight over a set time, you can predetermine formulas and drive standards of product consistency.
Manufactured from food-contact approved stainless steel, it features a spring-loaded gate and precise laser-etched graduations. Available in three sizes for same-day despatch. Calibration certificate included.
Code: WPG899

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.
