  and possible segregation issues that affect the mix of final product. The traditional methods used to measure powder flow behavior - the flow cup test and the angle of repose measurement - do not give the user any clear indication that the above problem will occur. A more scientific method is needed...
• Processing Milk Powder - The Flowability Challenge
  sample, then shear the powder against itself to measure the amount of friction that will cause resistance to movement. This type of test gives several pieces of information that can be useful, such as flow function and density. Figure 2 shows a typical report that characterizes various blends of milk...
• THE TIME DILEMMA FOR POWDER PROCESSING
  of the powder's self weight pressing down on itself under the force of gravity, thereby causing consolidation. The shearing action is a test method to measure the frictional forces between powder particles as they slide over each other. The resulting analysis, called the "Flow Function", is a predictive...
• Can You Measure Powder Flowability? (.pdf)
  problems when the process is scaled up to high volume. How can flow problems with powders be eliminated?. There is a proven scientific method, called the "flow function test", which can analyze powders for flow behavior. ASTM D6128 describes this procedure for compressing and shearing powder...
• Milling Equipment FAQs
  . The client provides the desired production feed rate and particle size and we extrapolate or directly correlate the mill size based on the test data. The mills scale up proportional to gas flow. And, since we have an extensive custom grinding and test facility with over 12000 SCFM of oil-free air...

• "Space-Age" Surface Enhancement Coatings Fight Environmental Attacks On Oil & Gas Equipment
  and/or product flow. Offshore drilling rigs and the equipment they house, for example, are not just exposed to salt water, they are often immersed in it. The harsh environments and corrosive product streams in the oil and gas business present extremes not unlike what metals undergo in space missions. General...
• How Do Those Potato Chips Taste? (.pdf)
  market is definitely hot with plenty of competition between suppliers looking for both new flavors as well as consistency in the coating process for use of established flavors. One of the new paths to earlier success is the use of powder flow test equipment to ensure that the coating process works...
