TD 1 Tap Density Tester from SOTAX

Description

The tapped density and tapped volumes of powders, granules, pellets, flakes and other bulk substances are measured according to EP, ASTM and USP regulations. This technique is useful in powder compression and flowability studies as well as to determine the amount of settlement during transit and packaging. The Tapped Density is calculated by mechanically tapping an initial volume of powder within a volumetric cylinder for a predefined time (raising and rotating the cylinder and allowing it to drop a specified distance under its own weight) until no further volume change is observed.

The SOTAX TD1 has a single, easy to lock position for measurements offering a 25 ml, 100 ml and 250 ml cylinder that:

  • Complies with USP 616, ASTM B 527, DIN EN ISO 787-11 and EP 2.9.34
  • Has an LCD display with easy to scroll menus and EP, USP, user-configurable methods
  • Has a connection for a printer and a balance
  • Calculation and print-out of test results such as Tapped Density, Compressibility Index and Hausner ratio
  • Comes with an optional Noise Cabinet
