About This Product
Flowability decides how well a powder or granule can be fed, poured or packed. In the disc method, powder is placed in a cylinder over a disc with a hole, and the question is whether it falls through freely. The smaller the hole through which the powder still flows, the better its flow. Testing with a series of discs gives a simple index that can be repeated and compared between batches, and the angle of repose adds a second measure. School Lab Equipment India supplies the Manual Powder Flow Tester across India and can export it to Australia, Lebanon, Montenegro, Mozambique, New Zealand and South Korea.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How does the Manual Powder Flow Tester measure flow?
It is based on the ability of the powder to fall freely through a hole in a disc, tested with discs of different hole diameters.
Q2. How much powder is used?
60 grams are carefully charged into the cylindrical container until roughly 1 cm from the top.
Q3. What if the first test is positive?
Repeat the process with smaller discs until the test is negative.
