Flowability & Bulk density tester

The harmonized chapters in the Pharmacopeia (USP, Chapter <1174> / EP, Chapter 2.9.36) on powder flow lists well-defined methods for powder testing aimed at trying to bring about some degree of standardization within the test methodology. Additionally, bulk density measuring is described in USP <616> Method 2 in order to calculate compressibility and Hausner Ratio.

  • BEP 2 - Flowability Tester

    Easy-to-use, small footprint flowability tester with interchangeable cylinder, funnel, angle-of-repose and shear cell attachments.

    Scott Volumeter - Bulk density tester for powders

    Scott Volumeter - Bulk Density Tester

    Apparatus according to USP <616> to measure the bulk density of fine powders and similar products.

  • POWDER TESTING

    Test flowability of powders applying different methods:

    • Flow through an orifice
    • Angle of repose
    • Shear cell

    Calculate Compressibilty Index and Hausner Ratio once bulk density and tapped density have been determined.
