Course overview
The course was designed to give delegates an overview of various methods of measuring the behavioural properties of powders. It is designed to include hands-on experience with as many of these methods as practical.
For each technique covered the presenters will:
- Introduce relevance to real-world handling scenarios
- Show how technique works, demonstrate if appropriate
- Discuss relative accuracy, selectivity and relevance.
You will learn about:
- Particle size measurement (manual and automated)
- Density (solid and bulk)
- Flow property measurements
- Moisture mechanics
- Segregation, degradation and caking
Explosability - Pneumatic conveying properties
- Dustiness
In the practical session you will able to:
Test you own materials with the aid of our experienced technicians and researchers (If you do not have your own materials, we can provide some for you)
- Learn different methods of characterising materials
- Receive advice and recommendations on the results
