Rheological analysis of powders in the laboratory
Would you like to carry out a powder rheology analysis?
What is powder rheology?
The rheology of powders is the study of the mechanical behavior and flow properties of powder-based materials. Unlike liquids or solids, powders consist of individual solid particles, and their behavior depends on several factors such as particle size, shape, density, and interactions between them (adhesion forces, friction, etc.).
Why carry out a powder rheology analysis?
Powder rheology is an essential analysis in many industries, such as the pharmaceutical industry, food, cosmetics, and chemicals, where powder materials must be handled, transported, or processed efficiently. It helps optimize processes such as mixing, storage, transport, and compression.
Which parameters are measured during a powder rheology analysis?
