Bulk Density Tester
The Bulk Density Tester is designed to determine the apparent (bulk) density of plastic materials using a standardized funnel and measuring cup method. Built in accordance with ASTM requirements, the instrument ensures accurate and repeatable measurement of free-flowing materials. It is widely used in laboratories and quality control environments to evaluate material handling and processing characteristics.
Application
The Bulk Density Tester is used for measuring the apparent density, bulk factor, and pourability of plastic materials such as powders and granules. It is suitable for plastics, resins, and other particulate materials in industries including plastics manufacturing, chemical processing, and research laboratories. The test results help assess material flow behavior and optimize production processes.
