The consistency of stocks test is a gravimetric method of determining the consistency of all slush stocks.
The method can be applied to all stocks, either filled or unfilled, with a slight modification being made for higher levels of consistency, i.e., over 1% (par 7.2).
The method cannot be applied to stock flow measurements since stock suspensions have been known to include as much as 6% by volume of air.
The testing and evaluation of a product against this method may require the use of materials and/or equipment that could be hazardous. This document does not purport to address all the safety aspects associated with its use. Anyone using this method has the responsibility to consult the appropriate authorities and to establish appropriate health and safety practices in conjunction with any existing applicable regulatory requirements prior to its use.
