Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 5530-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 4,
Cereals and pulses.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 5530-1:1997), which has been
technically revised.
ISO 5530 consists of the following parts, under the general title Wheat flour — Physical characteristics
of doughs:
— Part 1: Determination of water absorption and rheological properties using a farinograph
— Part 2: Determination of rheological properties using an extensograph
— Part 3: Determination of water absorption and rheological properties using a valorigraph

4 Principle
Measuring and recording, by means of a farinograph, the consistency of a dough as it is formed from
flour and water, as it is developed, and as it changes with time.
NOTE The maximum consistency of the dough is adjusted to a fixed value by adapting the quantity of water
added. The correct water addition, which is called the water absorption, is used to obtain a complete mixing
curve, the various features of which are a guide to the rheological properties (strength) of the dough.
5 Reagent
Use only distilled or demineralized water or water of equivalent purity.
6 Apparatus
The usual laboratory apparatus and, in particular, the following:
1)
6.1 Farinograph (see Annex A), with the following operating characteristics:
–1
— slow blade rotational frequency: (63 ± 2) min (rev/min); the ratio of the rotational frequencies of
the mixing blades shall be 1,50 ± 0,01;
— torque per farinograph unit:
— for a 300 g mixer: (9,8 ± 0,2) mN·m/FU [(100 ± 2) gf·cm/FU];
— for a 50 g mixer: (1,96 ± 0,04) mN·m/FU [(20 ± 0,4) gf·cm/FU];
— chart speed: (1,00 ± 0,03) cm/min.
6.1.1 Burettes.
a) for a 300 g mixer, graduated from 135 ml to 225 ml in 0,2 ml divisions.
b) for a 50 g mixer, graduated from 22,5 ml to 37,5 ml in 0,1 ml divisions.
6.1.2 Thermostat, with circulating water for constant temperature (30 °± 0,2) °C.
6.2 Balance, capable of weighing to the nearest ±0,1 g.
6.3 Spatula, thin, made of soft plastic.
7 Sampling
Sampling is not part of the method specified in this part of ISO 5530. A recommended sampling method
[3]
is given in ISO 24333.
It is important that the laboratory receive a sample which is truly representative and which has not been
damaged or changed during transport and storage.
1) This part of ISO 5530 has been drawn up on the basis of the Brabender Farinograph, which is an example of a
suitable product available commercially. This information is given for the convenience of users of this part of ISO
5530 and does not constitute an endorsement by ISO of this product. Other equipment may be used if it can be
shown to give comparable results.

8 Procedure
8.1 Determination of the moisture content of the flour
Determine the moisture content of the flour using the method specified in ISO 712.
8.2 Preparation of farinograph
NOTE See details of electronic farinograph characteristics and procedure in A.4.
8.2.1 Turn on the thermostat of the farinograph (6.1.2) and circulate the water, until the required
temperature is reached, prior to using the instrument. Before and during use, check the temperatures of
the thermostat and of the mixing bowl, the latter in the hole provided for this purpose. The temperature
of the mixing bowl shall be (30 ± 0,2) °C.
The laboratory temperature should be between 18 °C and 30 °C.
8.2.2 Uncouple the mixer from the driving shaft and adjust the position of the counterweight(s) so as
to obtain zero deflection of the pointer with the motor running at the specified rotational frequency (see
6.1). Switch off the motor and then couple the mixer.
8.2.3 Lubricate the mixer with a drop of water between the back-plate and each of the blades. Check
that the deflection of the pointer is within the range (0 ± 5) FU with the mixing blades rotating at the
specified rotational frequency in the empty, clean bowl. If the deflection exceeds 5 FU, clean the mixer
more thoroughly or eliminate other causes of friction.
8.2.4 Adjust the arm of the pen so as to obtain identical readings from the pointer and the recording pen.
8.2.5 Adjust the damper so that, with the motor running, the time required for the pointer to go from
1 000 FU to 100 FU is (1,0 ± 0,2) s. This should result in a bandwidth of approximately 60 FU to 90 FU.
8.2.6 Fill the burette (6.1.1) with water at 30 °C. The time to flow from 0 ml to 225 ml or from 0 ml to
37,5 ml, respectively, shall be not more than 20 s.
8.3 Test portion
If necessary, bring the flour to a temperature of between 25 °C and 30 °C.
8.3.1 Constant flour mass procedure
Weigh (6.2), to the nearest 0,1 g, the equivalent of 300 g (for a 300 g mixer) or 50 g (for a 50 g mixer) of
flour having a moisture content of 14 % mass fraction. Let this mass, in grams, be m; see Table 1 for m as
a function of moisture content.
Place the test portion in the mixer. Cover the mixer, and keep it covered until the end of mixing except,
for the shortest possible time, when water has to be added and the dough has to be scraped down.
Switch on the thermostatically controlled heating.

8.4 Common rules of determination
For the steps of the operation not specified in this part of ISO 5530, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
8.4.1 Mix at the specified rotational frequency for 1 min or slightly longer. Start adding water from
the burette into the right-hand front corner of the mixer within 25 s, when a whole-minute line on the
recorder paper passes by the pen.
NOTE In order to reduce the waiting time, the recorder paper can be moved forward during the mixing of the
flour. Do not move it backwards.
Add a volume of water close to that expected to produce a maximum consistency (9.2) of 500 FU. When
the dough forms, scrape down the sides of the bowl with the spatula (6.3) adding any adhering particles
to the dough, without stopping the mixer. If the consistency is too high, add a little more water to obtain
a maximum consistency of approximately 500 FU. Stop mixing and clean the mixer.
8.4.2 Carry out additional mixings as necessary, until two mixings are available
— in which the water addition has been completed within 25 s,
— the maximum consistencies of which are between 480 FU and 520 FU, and
— the recording of which has been continued for sufficient time to calculate all reported terms of the
selected method.
Stop mixing and clean the mixer.
9 Evaluation of the farinogram and calculation of the derived rheological
characteristics
9.1 General
From each sample, two determinations shall be carried out. Read directly or calculate the values of each
rheological characteristic to be determined from both farinograms. Express the results as the mean
value of the relevant data.
NOTE To facilitate the calculations, a computer can be used. In that case, it would be necessary to modify the
farinograph by adding an electrical output for transferring the data to the computer.
9.2 Water absorption of flour
In order to obtain the water absorption of flour (see 3.4) first from each of the mixings with maximum
consistencies (see 3.3) between 480 FU and 520 FU, derive the corrected volume, V , in millilitres, of
c
water corresponding to a maximum consistency of 500 FU, by means of Formulae (3) and (4):
a) for a 300 g mixer:
V = V + 0,096(C – 500)
c

b) for a 50 g mixer:

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 5530-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 34, Food products, Subcommittee SC 4,
Cereals and pulses.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 5530-1:1997), which has been
technically revised.
ISO 5530 consists of the following parts, under the general title Wheat flour — Physical characteristics
of doughs:
— Part 1: Determination of water absorption and rheological properties using a farinograph
— Part 2: Determination of rheological properties using an extensograph
— Part 3: Determination of water absorption and rheological properties using a valorigraph

4 Principle
Measuring and recording, by means of a farinograph, the consistency of a dough as it is formed from
flour and water, as it is developed, and as it changes with time.
NOTE The maximum consistency of the dough is adjusted to a fixed value by adapting the quantity of water
added. The correct water addition, which is called the water absorption, is used to obtain a complete mixing
curve, the various features of which are a guide to the rheological properties (strength) of the dough.
5 Reagent
Use only distilled or demineralized water or water of equivalent purity.
6 Apparatus
The usual laboratory apparatus and, in particular, the following:
1)
6.1 Farinograph (see Annex A), with the following operating characteristics:
–1
— slow blade rotational frequency: (63 ± 2) min (rev/min); the ratio of the rotational frequencies of
the mixing blades shall be 1,50 ± 0,01;
— torque per farinograph unit:
— for a 300 g mixer: (9,8 ± 0,2) mN·m/FU [(100 ± 2) gf·cm/FU];
— for a 50 g mixer: (1,96 ± 0,04) mN·m/FU [(20 ± 0,4) gf·cm/FU];
— chart speed: (1,00 ± 0,03) cm/min.
6.1.1 Burettes.
a) for a 300 g mixer, graduated from 135 ml to 225 ml in 0,2 ml divisions.
b) for a 50 g mixer, graduated from 22,5 ml to 37,5 ml in 0,1 ml divisions.
6.1.2 Thermostat, with circulating water for constant temperature (30 °± 0,2) °C.
6.2 Balance, capable of weighing to the nearest ±0,1 g.
6.3 Spatula, thin, made of soft plastic.
7 Sampling
Sampling is not part of the method specified in this part of ISO 5530. A recommended sampling method
[3]
is given in ISO 24333.
It is important that the laboratory receive a sample which is truly representative and which has not been
damaged or changed during transport and storage.
1) This part of ISO 5530 has been drawn up on the basis of the Brabender Farinograph, which is an example of a
suitable product available commercially. This information is given for the convenience of users of this part of ISO
5530 and does not constitute an endorsement by ISO of this product. Other equipment may be used if it can be
shown to give comparable results.

8 Procedure
8.1 Determination of the moisture content of the flour
Determine the moisture content of the flour using the method specified in ISO 712.
8.2 Preparation of farinograph
NOTE See details of electronic farinograph characteristics and procedure in A.4.
8.2.1 Turn on the thermostat of the farinograph (6.1.2) and circulate the water, until the required
temperature is reached, prior to using the instrument. Before and during use, check the temperatures of
the thermostat and of the mixing bowl, the latter in the hole provided for this purpose. The temperature
of the mixing bowl shall be (30 ± 0,2) °C.
The laboratory temperature should be between 18 °C and 30 °C.
8.2.2 Uncouple the mixer from the driving shaft and adjust the position of the counterweight(s) so as
to obtain zero deflection of the pointer with the motor running at the specified rotational frequency (see
6.1). Switch off the motor and then couple the mixer.
8.2.3 Lubricate the mixer with a drop of water between the back-plate and each of the blades. Check
that the deflection of the pointer is within the range (0 ± 5) FU with the mixing blades rotating at the
specified rotational frequency in the empty, clean bowl. If the deflection exceeds 5 FU, clean the mixer
more thoroughly or eliminate other causes of friction.
8.2.4 Adjust the arm of the pen so as to obtain identical readings from the pointer and the recording pen.
8.2.5 Adjust the damper so that, with the motor running, the time required for the pointer to go from
1 000 FU to 100 FU is (1,0 ± 0,2) s. This should result in a bandwidth of approximately 60 FU to 90 FU.
8.2.6 Fill the burette (6.1.1) with water at 30 °C. The time to flow from 0 ml to 225 ml or from 0 ml to
37,5 ml, respectively, shall be not more than 20 s.
8.3 Test portion
If necessary, bring the flour to a temperature of between 25 °C and 30 °C.
8.3.1 Constant flour mass procedure
Weigh (6.2), to the nearest 0,1 g, the equivalent of 300 g (for a 300 g mixer) or 50 g (for a 50 g mixer) of
flour having a moisture content of 14 % mass fraction. Let this mass, in grams, be m; see Table 1 for m as
a function of moisture content.
Place the test portion in the mixer. Cover the mixer, and keep it covered until the end of mixing except,
for the shortest possible time, when water has to be added and the dough has to be scraped down.
Switch on the thermostatically controlled heating.

Weigh (6.2), to the nearest 0,1 g the calculated mass of flour, m, and place the test portion in the bowl.
Fill the burette (6.1.1) with water of room temperature. Start the mixer and recording mechanism, and
1 min later, add the calculated volume of water to the flour. In this case, the maximum consistency of the
dough will be (500 ± 20) FU.
NOTE W versus m, calculated by Formula (1) using the large or small bowl, respectively (in the water

8.4 Common rules of determination
For the steps of the operation not specified in this part of ISO 5530, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
8.4.1 Mix at the specified rotational frequency for 1 min or slightly longer. Start adding water from
the burette into the right-hand front corner of the mixer within 25 s, when a whole-minute line on the
recorder paper passes by the pen.
NOTE In order to reduce the waiting time, the recorder paper can be moved forward during the mixing of the
flour. Do not move it backwards.
Add a volume of water close to that expected to produce a maximum consistency (9.2) of 500 FU. When
the dough forms, scrape down the sides of the bowl with the spatula (6.3) adding any adhering particles
to the dough, without stopping the mixer. If the consistency is too high, add a little more water to obtain
a maximum consistency of approximately 500 FU. Stop mixing and clean the mixer.
8.4.2 Carry out additional mixings as necessary, until two mixings are available
— in which the water addition has been completed within 25 s,
— the maximum consistencies of which are between 480 FU and 520 FU, and
— the recording of which has been continued for sufficient time to calculate all reported terms of the
selected method.
Stop mixing and clean the mixer.
9 Evaluation of the farinogram and calculation of the derived rheological
characteristics
9.1 General
From each sample, two determinations shall be carried out. Read directly or calculate the values of each
rheological characteristic to be determined from both farinograms. Express the results as the mean
value of the relevant data.
NOTE To facilitate the calculations, a computer can be used. In that case, it would be necessary to modify the
farinograph by adding an electrical output for transferring the data to the computer.
9.2 Water absorption of flour
In order to obtain the water absorption of flour (see 3.4) first from each of the mixings with maximum
consistencies (see 3.3) between 480 FU and 520 FU, derive the corrected volume, V , in millilitres, of
c
water corresponding to a maximum consistency of 500 FU, by means of Formulae (3) and (4):
a) for a 300 g mixer:
V = V + 0,096(C – 500)
c
(3)
b) for a 50 g mixer:
