FT4 universal powder tester

The FT4 state-of-the-art universal powder tester offers automated bulk, shear and dynamic property measurement. The data generated correlate directly with various aspects of processing behavior making the instrument ideal for formulation and process optimization, as well as effective quality control. With this unit, powders are tested in a consolidated, conditioned and aerated state to fully characterize behavior and the factors influencing it. This facilitates the rapid identification of properties with a critical impact on performance. The FT4’s patented dynamic methodology and unique conditioning step, coupled with automated test programs that eliminate operator-to-operator variability, deliver precise, repeatable and reproducible results. Testing is quick; a test program is typically completed in around 5 min, while the latest software delivers rapid data analysis, remote from the laboratory where necessary.
