8. Lift the weight about two inches directly upward and release it. Allow it
to fall straight down. Observe the reading on the Potentiometer
Indicator.
9. Record the reading and repeat steps 6 through 8 with each weight listed
in the chart below.
The voltage values in this chart are only examples. Every potentiome-
ter is different and will, therefore produce different voltages. The cali-
bration process will help you interpret the potentiometer readings pro-
vided by the Consistometer.
A 400 g weight corresponds to approximately 100 Bc.
