Seems it's another quality that can be detected by candling.

I'm guessing they're using sonar or MRIs.

Nope. They still do candling, although they don't use candles anymore.

Astounding! I imagined it would be a bunch of Mexican ladies packing
eggs into cartons. Boy that was totally wrong!

When I was young, the local shop had a box with electric lamp and they would
hold the egg over the lamp.

I saw a documentary once where it was all automated. A computer
"candled" each egg and separated them accordingly.

Did you not look at the link Cindy posted? Now that was computer candling
in a massive scale

I know about candling. I was wondering how they could tell if the
white was runny so as to grade the egg as a B.

Candling is for detecting excessive blood spots, if the egg is
fertilized, and to check fertilized egg development in the incubators.
Today candling is done electronically, with high intensity LED light,
with computerized/digitized imaging, and at high speed as the eggs
pass the candling device on conveyer belts. Computer programs check
images for grading. If eggs were individually graded by humans the
old fashioned way eggs would be too expensive. And not just chicken
eggs are candled, all poultry eggs are candled... the turkey farmer
can't afford a dead egg in the incubator, or it will probably explode
and ruin maybe a thousand fertilized developing eggs... fertilized
eggs are candled often as they mature. If turkey farmers used old
fashioned methods few of us could afford a Thanksgiving turkey... it
would cost less to hunt wild turkey and for those without access to
land with wild turkeys hunting the family bird can be prohibitively
expensive. Plenty wild turkey here but no hunting allowed:

It seems that the viscosity is something the computer can
detect.

It can see the yolk wobbling around as the egg rotates. More
wobble = runnier eggwhite.

From what I've read, put eggs in water. If they stay flat on the
bottom, they're good. If they stay down but stand up on one end,
they're still good but getting old. If they float, throw them out.
