Micron Powder Characteristics Tester Model PT-S

The Powder Characteristics Tester, model PT-S, is a single instrument which provides seven mechanical measurements and three supporting measurements of dry bulk powders. The instrument has been developed to improve handling, efficiency, and accuracy in testing the bulk properties of dry powders, and all measurements are performed in accordance with Standard Test Method ASTM D6393-99 "Bulk Solids Characterization by CARR Indices".

The PT-S analytical instrument was developed so that key measurements are performed using a single convenient unit, providing an additional basis of data for quality control of powdered products, and numerical evaluations of “Flowability” and “Floodability” of dry solids.

The Powder Characteristics Tester package includes the Powder Tester Main Unit and Dispersibility Tower, a Desktop Computer with the PT-S Software pre loaded and verified, compatible Electronic Balance, necessary Tools and Accessories including “Certified” Sieve Screens, and dust containment system (if optional vacuum is purchased).

This instrument has proven to be especial in determining the flow behavior (Flowability) and the flood behavior (Floodability) of dry solid powders during production and use in their respective application uses.
