Powder Flow Tester Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : TVT-CELE-10720
The Powder Flow Tester is a compact, bench-top instrument built for affordable powder characterisation, giving formulation and quality-control teams a small-footprint way to evaluate how a bulk powder will behave in handling, storage and processing.
How It Works
The tester offers a choice of test options depending on what needs to be characterised: a Flow Function test, a Time Consolidation Test combined with Flow Function, and a Wall Friction test against a chosen surface material. From these tests the instrument derives a set of standard powder-flow outputs, including the Flow Index, Arching Dimension, Rat-Hole Diameter, Hopper Half Angle, Gravity Chute (Wall Friction) Angle, and a Bulk Density Curve — data used to size hoppers, chutes and feed systems and to predict whether a powder will flow freely or bridge/rathole in storage.
Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Specification (Manufacturer-Stated) |
|---|---|
| Design | Compact, small footprint — bench-top use |
| Test Options | Flow Function; Time Consolidation Test with Flow Function; Wall Friction |
| Data Outputs | Flow Index, Arching Dimension, Rat-hole Diameter, Hopper Half Angle, Gravity Chute (Wall Friction) Angle, Bulk Density Curve |
Note: the source specification for this product does not list dimensional, load-cell or power-supply figures — only the test options and data outputs above were confirmed and are presented here; no additional figures have been assumed.
Applications
Data note: this product is catalogued under Tvet Equipments' Civil Engineering Lab Equipment category, but is a powder/bulk-solids characterisation instrument used mainly in pharmaceutical, food and chemical processing labs rather than a civil/materials-testing apparatus — this reflects a catalog categorisation mismatch already flagged at the category level. Powder flow testers of this type are used to characterise bulk-solids flowability for hopper and silo design and formulation development, based on shear-testing principles consistent with USP <1174> Powder Flow and the Jenike shear-cell methodology described in ASTM D6128.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a powder flow tester measure?
It characterises how a bulk powder flows, producing outputs such as Flow Index, Arching Dimension, Rat-hole Diameter, Hopper Half Angle and a Bulk Density Curve.
What test options are available?
Flow Function, Time Consolidation Test with Flow Function, and Wall Friction testing.
Why is powder flow testing important?
It helps predict whether a powder will flow freely or bridge/rathole in hoppers and silos, which is critical for reliable process and formulation design.
