Bulk Material Testing

Why Material Testing?

Material testing is critical for successful delivery of an engineered solution that meets your powder or bulk solids handling needs. Without accurate bulk material flow properties, equipment and system design will be based on guess-work. Can you afford to risk your project’s success on limited material data, questionable assumptions, and equipment designs that will provide and or ?

• Flow properties: powder flowability; handling equipment design data
• Segregation: mixture or particle separation tendencies
• Pneumatic conveying: conveying behavior; minimum conveying velocity
• Particle properties: material characteristics such as shape, size, true density
• Abrasive wear: sliding wear effects against steel, ceramic, or plastic liners
• Particle attrition: particle’s tendency to break-down and generate fines or dust
• Powder fluidization: material’s ability to fully aerate and flow like a liquid
• Powder caking: material agglomerating, lumping, or clumping properties
