The PTG-S5 automated powder flow analyzer is used to measure the flow behavior of granules and powders in accordance with EP <2.9.36>, EP <2.9.16>, USP <1174> Pharmacopoeia and ISO 4324 standards.
This instrument determines the powder flow time, powder cone angle of collected cone, weight, density and volume of powder cone. In addition, the EP “flowability” result is calculated by the flow time
of 100 g of sample to be measured through a specified pouring spout.
The PTG-S5 determines the following parameters:
* Powder flow time of a predefined mass * Powder cone volume * Powder cone density: * Cone angle (angle of repose according to EP <2.9.36>, USP <1174>) * “flowability” of 100 g of product (according to EP/DAB <2.9.16>, USP <1174>) * Sample amount (mg in a preset time) * Sample flow chart (mg/time)Validation documents are always supplied free of charge with PharmaTest equipment!
