New software for Freeman Technology's FT4 Powder Rheometer offers a redesigned graphical user interface that improves the display of real-time test information.
The FT4 universal powder tester is suitable for a range of industrial sectors.
It uses dynamic methodology, fully automated shear cells and several bulk property tests, including density, compressibility and permeability to quantify powder properties in terms of flow and ability to be processed.
Correlating this data with processing performance enables users to optimise powder processes.
The new interface provided by the software delivers systematic guidance to new users while giving experienced operators the ability to develop and run bespoke methodologies.
Available on all new instruments, the software will be offered as a free upgrade to existing FT4 users.
The interface offers complete access to the full shear, bulk, dynamic and axial powder testing capabilities of the FT4, allowing users to build a comprehensive behavioural profile of a powder by drawing in results from each of the test methodologies.
