The Bostwick Consistometer is the standard instrument for measuring the consistency and flow rate of semi-solid foods, sauces, and pharmaceutical products. The sample is held behind a spring-loaded gate; releasing the gate lets the fluid flow down a precision-engraved trough at 0.5 cm intervals, distance traveled in a fixed time gives the Bostwick value.

Clinical & Industrial Applications

  • Tomato sauces and ketchup quality control
  • Soups, gravies, and dressings
  • Preserves and fillings
  • Baby food consistency testing
  • Salad dressings and condiments
  • Pharmaceutical syrups and semi-solid formulations
  • USDA-referenced consistency standard

How to Use

  1. Pour 75 ml of sample into the reservoir behind the gate.
  2. Release the gate using the spring-loaded lever, the gate opens instantaneously.
  3. Time the flow as the sample travels down the graduated trough.
  4. Read the distance reached at the chosen time interval (typically 30 seconds), this is the Bostwick value in centimeters.
