Wall Friction Modules: FT4 Powder Rheometer

Freeman Technology

The frictional resistance between containing surfaces and the powder moving over them can be important in determining the smoothness or consistency of the powder transfer process. The wall friction modules for the FT4 Powder Rheometer allows this frictional resistance to be measured experimentally.

In all processing machinery, powder is required to flow within containing surfaces such as a hopper, chute, or pipe. The frictional resistance between these surfaces and the powder moving over them can be important in determining the smoothness or consistency of the powder transfer process.

The wall friction modules for the FT4 Powder Rheometer allows this frictional resistance to be measured experimentally.

A disc of the appropriate material and finish compresses a powder sample while the disc is rotated to measure the frictional resistance
A step sequence of predetermined normal stresses is applied while the disc is rotated and the frictional torque is measured at each stress level
The complete test and analysis are fully automated once the sample is prepared and the program started, with measurements complete in just a few minutes
