"The FT4 Powder Rheometer® was originally designed with one purpose in mind - to characterise the rheology, or flow properties, of powders. This remains a primary function today, but the instrument, accessories and methodologies have been continuously developed to the point where the FT4 is now considered a universal powder tester.

In addition to the patented dynamic methodology, where a powder’s resistance to flow is measured whilst the powder is in motion, the FT4 also includes a shear cell for measuring the powder’s shear strength, a wall friction kit to quantify how the powder shears against the wall of the process equipment (in accordance with ASTM Standard D7891), and also accessories for measuring bulk properties, such as density, compressibility and permeability."
