Abstract
An apparatus for checking a need for maintenance of a viscometer measuring consistency of suspension comprises a rigid rod and an elongated cavity in a measuring arm of the viscometer. The rigid rod is matched with the cavity for the rod to be movable in the cavity. The cavity is configured to become mismatched with respect to the rod in response to a bending of the measuring arm, the mismatch indicating a need for maintenance of the viscometer.

An apparatus for checking a need for maintenance of a viscometer measuring consistency of suspension, the apparatus comprising a rigid rod and an elongated cavity inside a measuring arm of the viscometer;
- the rigid rod is matched with the cavity for the rod to be movable in the cavity;
- and
- the cavity is configured to become mismatched with respect to the rod in response to a bending of the measuring arm, the mismatch indicating a need for maintenance of the viscometer.
A viscometer for measuring consistency of suspension, the viscometer comprising a rigid rod and a measuring arm, a first end which is coupled with a projection insertable in the suspension;
- the measuring arm comprises an elongated cavity;
- the rigid rod is matched with the cavity for the rod to be movable in the cavity;
- and
- the cavity is configured to become mismatched with respect to the rod in response to a bending of the measuring arm, the mismatch indicating a need for maintenance of the viscometer.
