Cone penetration data were obtained with fats consisting of mixtures of tristearin and olive oil. These mixtures cover a wide range of hardness. The results indicate that consistency of fats measured with a cone penetrometer specified in the AOCS method can be expressed as a hardness index: HI= Mass of cone assembly/Penetration depth This simple relationship does not require correction of penetration readings resulting from the use of a truncated cone. 251‐264, Soc.
