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.
The Bostwick Consistometer is a simple, dependable instrument which determines the consistency of various materials by measuring the distance which a sample flows under its own weight.xtra Long 30cm Bostwick Consistometer has 60 x 0.5cm graduations. Bostwick Consistometer. The unit is constructed of stainless steel and is equipped with two levelling screws and a level. The gate is spring operated and held by a positive release mechanism, permitting instantaneous flow of sample.
