Bostwick Type Consistometer

Meets ASTM Designation: F 1080, Standard Test Method For Determining The Consistency Of Viscous Liquids Using A Consistometer. Meets MIL-R-81294B.

Significances and Use - ASTM F 1080 states the measurement of flow gives results that cannot be predicted with viscosity measurements due to surface tension and density effect. The measured flow is related to flow performance of viscous materials sprayed on aircraft surfaces or other large areas.
This stainless steel device is designed to determine the flow of a standard volume of thick liquid or semisolid under its own weight. It consists of a stainless steel reservoir with trap door, engraved graduated track with sidewalls and leveling screws with bubble level.

• Paint Manufacturing
• Cosmetic Formulation
• Chemical Production

Operation
A 75ML sample of material is poured into the reservoir and the distance of flow in a horizontal direction is read from an engraved ruled track after a fixed time following the materials release from the spring loaded gate reservoir.
