Botswick Consistometer is a laboratory instrument used to measure the consistency (viscosity) of materials, especially used for testing the flow properties of certain fluids or suspensions, like drilling fluids, muds, and slurries. The test involves determining how a sample flows under specific conditions, which can provide insights into its rheological properties.
The Botswick Consistometer measures the time it takes for a fluid to flow through a specific distance under gravity. Typically, it is used to test the consistency of fluids with varying viscosities by observing how fast they flow through a calibrated passage.
