HMKFlow 329 is an apparatus of angle of repose usp 1174 used to measure the angle of repose of pharmaceutical powders. Powder angle of repose is part of powder flow test. HMKFlow 329 conforms to US Pharmacopoeia Chapter USP 1174 and European Pharmacopoeia Chapter EP 2.9.36. It also meets ISO 4324and agricultural fertilizers(ISO 8398). The angle of repose is the angle of the conical pile produced when a granular sample is poured onto a horizontal surface (test platform). HMKFlow 329 is supplied with optional Windows software to obtain the test results in a second.
HMKFlow 329 Powder flowability tester is used to measure the angle of repose and flow rate of powders. Powder angle of repose is part of powder flow test. The angle of repose is the angle of the conical pile produced when a granular sample is poured onto a horizontal surface (test platform). HMKFlow 329 conforms to US Pharmacopoeia Chapter USP 1174 and European Pharmacopoeia Chapter EP 2.9.36, ISO 4324 and ISO 8398. . In addition HMKFlow 329 has three auxiliary funnels in different diameters to work with main funnel to measure the flow rate of powders. Angle of repose and flow rate together contribute to comprehensive characterization on the powder flowability.
Pour sample into the funnel and stir the sample if necessary, the powder produce a cone on the test platform and use a height gage to measure the height of the pile. The tangent of the angle of repose (in degrees) can be determined by reading off the height of the powder cone in mm from the digital display of the height gage and dividing it by 50. Pour quantitative weight of sample to main funnel connected to auxiliary funnel (in different diameter selected as per sample), measure the flow rate of sample when it flow out of the funnel.
