<p>Powder testing and powder flow characterisation are now possible
using the patented FT4 Powder Rheometer, a revolutionary instrument
for providing fast and consistent measurements of powder flow
properties. The FT4 aids formulation of new materials, helps optimise
handling and processing and can provide quality control standards
that lead to real productivity and quality gains. Most of the
factors that affect powder flowability may now be assessed independently.
For the first time powder classification can provide information
databases to stand alongside those on solids & fluids.</p>
