Background

The smoothness and flowability of powders is critical to many types of processing as well as consumer quality. These properties can be measured as the force required to drag a plate over a thin layer of the powder. The TA-265 Friction Rig bolts onto the base of the TA.XTPlus and supports the instrument in a horizontal position. A sled is bolted onto the load cell via a hinge and is dragged along the platform over glass plates. The glass plates are rested on the friction rig’s platform and provide a consistent, cleanable test surface for the powder samples.
