Powder flowability tester PTW Bulk Density via Scott Volumeter

powder densitypHfor the pharmaceutical industry

Copley offers a comprehensive range of powder flowability testing tools for all pharmacopoeial assessments as well as supporting industries such as cosmetics, food production and additive manufacturing. The Powder Testing Workstation™ PTW can be configured to support six established methods including Angle of Repose, Flow Through an Orifice via Cylinder and Funnel, Bulk Density via Scott Volumeter and Shear Cell, plus Flowability and Bulk Density of Metal Powders (Hall, Gustavsson and Carney Flowmeter). Complementing the PTW, the Powder Testing Assistant™ PTA 100i, simplifies testing by guiding users through methods, automating calculations, and reducing transcription errors, ensuring accurate and reliable results every time. The Powder Testing Workstation PTW has been specifically designed to meet the standards outlined by USP, Ph. Eur., ASTM, and ISO for powder flow testing. The PTW provides a versatile solution, integrating six powder testing methods into a single, cost-effective unit, including Angle of Repose, Flow Through an Orifice via Cylinder and Funnel, Bulk Density via Scott Volumeter and Shear Cell, plus Flowability and Bulk Density of Metal Powders (Hall, Gustavsson and Carney Flowmeter). The Scott Volumeter is described in both USP and Ph. Eur. and is suitable for evaluating the bulk density of a diverse range of powders and granules. A comparison of the bulk and tapped density of a powder provides valuable insight into behaviour during handling and storage and can be used to determine well-established metrics of Carr’s Index and Hausner Ratio.
