Other Powder-related Tests
We don't just measure powder flow – we have the complete testing solution from start to finish.

Beneath your Powder Flow Analyser lies a texture analyser – extending your testing possibilities dramatically.
When coupled with a Powder Flow Analyser, the TA.XTplusC Texture Analyser gives you a complete range of testing solutions for both your powders and end-products making it the most universal instrument choice.
Within the same instrument, users can experience an extensive set of well-established testing possibilities such as Unconfined Yield Stress, uniaxial compression with the Powder Compaction Rig, diametral tablet compression using Cylinder Probes and granule compressibility using a Granule Compaction Rig.
Single particle mechanical strength and progressive swelling/disintegration of granules and pellets also expand the myriad of tests available for samples from powder to finished product. Alternative powder flow measurements do not provide such a comprehensive range of testing possibilities.
Take a tour of the range of applications your instrument can be used for to complement Powder Flow Analysis:
![High Tolerance Powder Compaction Rig](images/secondary-image/powder/powder-compaction-rig-1.jpg)
High Tolerance Powder Compaction Rig
Suited to high force applications where the punch/ die clearance is critical for the assessment of powder compaction properties.
Community Registered Design
![Low Tolerance Powder Compaction Rig](images/secondary-image/non-food/powder-compaction-rig.jpg)
Low Tolerance Powder Compaction Rig
Suited to powder compaction applications where the punch/die clearance is less critical.

Indexable Powder Compaction Rigs
Two variants for low compaction force testing of multiple powder samples.
![PFA Split Vessel](images/secondary-image/powder/pfa-split-vessel.jpg)
Split Vessel
Allows the accurate preparation of a precise volume of conditioned powder which is weighed and subsequently bulk density is automatically calculated.
![PFA Compression Probe](images/secondary-image/powder/pfa-compression-disc.jpg)
Powder Compression Probe
For assessment of compressibility by applying increasing levels of compression to a conditioned powder column.
![Vertical Powder Shear Rig](images/secondary-image/powder/powder-vertical-shear.jpg)
Vertical Powder Shear Rig
For the determination of powder shear strength with minimal operator intervention.
