Farinograph Absorption (FABS): The amount of water required to center the
highest portion of the Farinograph curve on the 500 Brabender unit (BU) line.
Farinograph Mixing
Peak Time (FPEAK): The time interval, in minutes, from the first addition of water until the curve reaches its
maximum height.
Farinograph Stability Time (FSTAB): The number of minutes the top of the
curve remains above the 500 unit line when the highest portion (peak) is centered on the 500 unit
line.
Farinograph Mixing Tolerance Index (MTI): The difference in Brabender Units (BU) from
the top of the curve at peak mixing time to the top of the curve five minutes after the peak mixing
time.
