Apparent Bulk Density Meter
The Apparent Bulk Density Meter is designed to determine the bulk density, bulk volume coefficient, and flowability of powders, granules, and fragmented solid materials. It provides standardized measurement solutions based on multiple international methods, enabling accurate evaluation of material packing behavior. The instrument supports different configurations to accommodate fine powders, coarse particles, and compressible materials, ensuring broad applicability across industries.
Application
The Apparent Bulk Density Meter is widely used for testing powders and granular materials in industries such as plastics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food, and minerals (e.g., soil and gravel). It is suitable for evaluating loose and tapped bulk density, as well as flow characteristics. The instrument supports material research, quality control, and process optimization by analyzing how materials behave during storage, transport, and handling.
