The HFlow-1 measures both bulk density and flow rate in pharmaceutical and metal powders, offering a choice of three standard funnels—Hall, Carney, and Gustavsson. Complied with USP, Ph. Eur., ASTM, and ISO standards, it accommodates diverse applications, allowing customers to choose the best fit for their measurement requirements. Bulk Density Measurement with 3 Funnels Flow Rate Measurement with 3 Funnels Carney Funnel Gustavsson Funnel Measurement Procedure Bulk Density 02 Adjust height Flow Rate where ρΒ is the bulk density, M is mass in grams, and V Β is the bulk volume in milliliters or cubic centimeters. 02 Weigh sample Start timing when powder begins to exit the orifice. * Both procedures are applicable across three types of funnels, according to corresponding standards. Record the elapsed time when the last of powder exits the o

Analyzing bulk density and flow rate of various metal powders applied in additive manufacturing (AM). Hall, Carney, and Gustavsson funnels equipped in HFlow-1 have different orifice diameters and angles respectively. They can be employed to test the bulk density and flow rate of a wide range of metal AM powders for evaluating printability. The combination of the laser diffraction analyzer Bettersizer 2600 and HFlow-1 assists in balancing the particle size distribution and flow property of AM powders. In the feedstock preparation process, undersized particles tend to aggregate, which can be detrimental...
