Analysis of the density of a powder in the laboratory
You want to analyze the density of your powders?
What is the density of a product?
The density of bulk solids particles is the density of the powders including the space between the particles.
There are two types of density:
- Untapped density or aerated density: this is the density measurement without the powder being compacted
- Tapped density: this is the density measurement with the powder compacted
Therefore, the density of the same granulated material, measured with a densimeter, can vary depending on whether it is more or less compacted.
Why analyze the density of a powder?
Densities, tapered and aerated, are critical properties of bulk powder that should not be confused when designing a plant.
Indeed, the density analysis allows to determine the size of the equipment of a process (size of the screens, silos…). An error on the density of your powder can lead to capacity limitations and an inadequacy of the equipment used.
