A new powder tester to be introduced at Powtech
Freeman Technology
The new Uniaxial Powder Tester (UPT; photo) provides an accurate and repeatable measure of the unconfined yield strength (UYS) of a powder to assess and rank flowability. It is quick, reliable and easy to use, delivering value to scientists, process engineers and quality-control analysts working in a diverse range of bulk solids handling industries, says the company. Available in manual and advanced versions, the UPT offers a low cost, powder-testing solution. Alongside the UPT, the company continues to provide a comprehensive powder characterization solution in the FT4 Powder Rheometer, a unique universal powder tester that uses patented dynamic methodology, automated shear cells and bulk property tests to quantify the flow properties of powders.
