TLDR
In this article, the consistency of fats can be measured with the cone penetrometer (AOCS Method Cc 16-60) and several suggestions have been made to convert readings of penetration depth into parameters such as yield value, hardness or hardness index.
Abstract
The consistency of fats can be measured with the cone penetrometer (AOCS Method Cc 16-60). Several suggestions have been made to convert readings of penetration depth into parameters such as yield value, hardness or hardness index. This may extend the usefulness of the method. Motor-driven penetrating devices yield results in terms of force/area or stress. More basic information about the rheological properties of fats can be obtained with creep measurements. This includes the viscous flow component as well as instantaneous and retarded elastic components. Such methods are more suitable for research purposes than for quality control. Characteristics and application of various methods will be reviewed.

The measurement of the hardness of margarine and fats with cone penetrometers

TL;DR: In this paper, the yield value can be calculated from the following formula: C=KW/p1.6 in which C=yield value K=factor dependent on the angle of the cone p=the penetration depth in 0.1 mm.

Use of the cone penetrometer for testing the firmness of butter

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors made an analysis of cone penetration test parameters for butters of a wide range of firmness and found that an index based on this relationship was found to account for approximately 91% of the variation in the sensorially perceived spreadability of the butters.
