The Brookfield Powder Flow Tester features a variety of test options including: Flow function, time consolidation, wall friction and bulk density. Time estimates for duration of each test are automatically calculated before start of test in case adjustments are needed. The operator also has a choice of graphical or tabular Data Output Format for each test plus calculations for arching dimension, rathole diameter, and hopper half-angle.
The PFT includes Powder Flow Pro Software, all accessories for handling powder samples, and features a small footprint that fits conveniently on a benchtop.
