Cold Water Method. Place the swordfish in its packaging in a large bowl or baking dish. If the packaging isn't waterproof, place the swordfish in a zip-top plastic bag before placing it in the bowl. Fill the bowl with cold water. Let the swordfish sit in the cold water until it is thawed, about one to two hours.
Function. The Consistometer is a low cost, durable, instrument for accurately checking laboratory or production samples against consistency, viscosity or flow rate standards. It uses little bench space and is yet probably the simplest, most accurate method of conducting a variety of flow associated tests.he consistometer provides a single parameter for a variety of flow tests which can be carried out over any period under as near identical conditions as possible. The Consistometer or Bostwick Consistometer is manufactured from stainless steel engraved with a series of precise graduations at 0.5 cm intervals.
Bostwick Consistometer Operating instructions The consistency of a sample is measured by its resistance to flow under specific conditions, for a specified time.The Bostwick Consistometer is one of many instruments designed to make such measurements.ote: It is very important that the Bostwick Consistometer is dry before using it. Water will decrease the friction coefficient of the instrument and will result in false readings.
