Product Description
Application:
The angle of repose is the angle (relative to the horizontal base) of the conical pile produced when a granular material is poured on to a horizontal surface. It is related to the density, surface area and coefficient of friction of the material concerned.

FAQ's of DF-1-05 Repose Angle Tester for Powder Flowability Testing:
Q: How is the DF-1-05 Repose Angle Tester used to measure powder flowability?
A: To use the DF-1-05, pour your powder sample through the top funnel onto the collection pan; as the powder piles up, it forms a conical heap. The angle of repose-the critical powder flowability characteristic-is then measured using the instrument's integrated protractor scale.
Q: What types of powders and industries can benefit from this tester?
A: The DF-1-05 is versatile and suitable for most free-flowing powders. Its common applications include the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries where precise evaluation of powder flow properties is crucial for production and quality control.
Q: When is it important to test the angle of repose of a powder?
A: Testing is essential when determining formulation suitability, processability, handling, or flow characteristics during production, storage, or research and development-especially when optimizing processes for blending, compressing, or transporting powders.
Q: Where should the DF-1-05 Repose Angle Tester be placed for optimal use?
A: Since it is a bench-top, free-standing instrument, the tester should be placed on a stable, flat laboratory surface. Ensure the working environment maintains recommended humidity (85% RH) and temperature (15C to 35C) for best accuracy.
Q: What is the process for cleaning and maintaining the tester?
A: After each measurement, simply detach the funnel and collection pan for easy access to all exposed surfaces. Rinse or wipe with suitable cleaning solutions to remove residual powders. Its stainless steel construction resists corrosion, enhancing cleanliness and longevity.
Q: How does the DF-1-05 ensure operator safety during testing?
A: This tester contains no electronic or moving hazards and is operated manually. Its corrosion-resistant construction and absence of electrical components make it safe for standard laboratory environments.
Q: What are the main benefits of using the DF-1-05 over automated repose angle testers?
A: The manual operation offers immediate results without the need for a power supply, reducing operational costs, maintenance, and risk of technical failure, while ensuring precise control and consistency with each individual test.
