Zusammenfassung:A fluid flow testing apparatus (10) for measuring the pour profile of a container (C) has a rotatable container carrier (14) and an assembly (16) that rotates the container between a first position allowing fluid to be retained within the container and a second position causing fluid to be poured from the container. Sensors (51-53) that sense the weight of the container as liquid is poured from the container are provided in order to determine the pour profile of the container. A controller (60) receives input signals from the sensors in order to record the weight of the container over time as liquid is poured from the container as the container is rotated. The change of weight of the container over time establishes a pour profile for the container.
