The PT-TD300 is used to test the tapped (or “tamped”) density and apparent density of powders, granules, pigments and similar products in compliance with the current USP <616> methods 1 and methods 2 as well as with EP <2.9.34>, DIN EN ISO 787-11 and ASTM B527.
The instrument automatically calculates the tapped density, Hausner flowability ratio and Carr compressibility index after each test and documents the results via the integrated protocol printer.
Advantages
Use a single instrument to test tapped density and apparent density according to both method 1 and method 2 from USP <616>
Automated detection of correct cylinder position according to selected method
Integrated protocol printer reduces bench space requirements
Detailed result report including calculation of Hausner flowability ratio and Carr compressibility index
Evaluation of the results according to Hausner and Carr compressibility indices
Determine the sample weight to automatically calculate apparent and tapped density
Programmable qualification interval timer reminds the user to perform instrument calibration
Dedicated calibration programs including reports for tap number, tap height, tap frequency, weight measurement and timer function
Copy methods between instruments by using a common USB flash drive
Export test reports as text files
