Understanding Powder Flow Data
Bulk powders can bridge, arch, or form a rat-hole inside a hopper instead of flowing evenly, causing production stoppages; a powder flow tester measures the cohesive and frictional behavior of a sample so that hopper and chute geometry can be designed or checked against the material's actual flow properties rather than assumption. The Flow Index and Bulk Density Curve outputs are commonly used inputs for hopper design and formulation comparison work.
