Verfahren und Vorrichtung zum periodischen Messen der Fliessgrenze von Dispersionen sowie deren Verwendung

WO 2008011996 A2 UPAB: 20080519 NOVELTY - The method involves moistening of a measuring body (1) iterative by the fluid material at a given, constant temperature. The fluid material partly discharges for a given discharge time, which is so measured that the measuring body obtains a constant weight. The yield point is determined by a remaining residual quantity at the measuring body. The measuring body is immersed in the fluid material and is flushed by the fluid material. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for the following: (1) a measuring device for periodic measuring of the yield point by fluid materials (2) use of the measuring device for continuous monitoring of fluid materials in a production line. USE - Temperature grade determining method of chocolate masses (Claimed). Can also be used in measuring, yield point of fluid materials in fluid material flow. ADVANTAGE - The measuring body is moistened iterative by the fluid material at a given, constant temperature, and the yield point is determined by a remaining residual quantity at the measuring body, and hence ensures a quasi-continuous regulation of a flow limit of dispersions in an easy and reproducible manner, and further covers a wide spectrum of materials, which are capable of flowing through the measuring system
