Electrolab Tap Density Tester

Google Custom Search
 
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.
