ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus for measuring the yield value of flowable material in a flow of flowable material comprise iteratively wetting a measuring body by the flowable material at a relatively constant temperature, subsequently permitting the flowable material to discharge for a discharge time so that the measuring body achieves approximately constant weight, using a functional unit in communication with the measuring body to determine a residual quantity of the flowable material which adheres to the measuring body after the discharge time, and determining the yield value of the flowable material based upon the quantity of the flowable material adhering on the measuring body.
