Electrolab
’s Tap Density Tester offers a simple and standard means of
measuring the tapped density of powders, granules, flakes
and other bulk substances.
The ETD-1020 is a two station tap density tester supporting
both USP I and USP II methods of testing. The unit allow any
one test t obe performed at a time. The test can also be performed
as per ASTM standards using the optional adapter for cylinder
holders.
To ensure a free drop of the cylinder from the required height,
the two stations are provide with virtually friction-free
bearings. Each station is driven by independent motors to
ensure a maintenance-free drive. A simultaneous rotating and
tapping motion minimizes any possible separation of the mass
during tapping down. |
 |
A
validation report can be printed at the end of the test as
per GMP/GLP requirements which includes the test parameters,
test results and the actual time and date on which the test
was performed.
The test can be performed in two different modes: USP mode
and USER mode in both test methods. In USP mode, test will
run in selected method with set number of taps. In USER mode
the number of drops can be programmed from 1 to 9999.
