About the Karg Fluometer ADP Bulk Density Tester
The Fluometer type ADP from Karg, Germany, is a bulk density tester used to measure the apparent or bulk density of pellets and powders of different raw material supplies. The values determined with it are also used to calculate the filling space of an injection mould. The bulk density of powdered, granular and other materials is determined according to different standards.
Five versions are available: 1010.000 for DIN EN ISO 60 and GB/T 1636 type A, 1013.000 for ASTM D 1895 method A, 1014.000 for ASTM D 1895 method B, 1015.000 for SL-QC-003 and 1016.000 for GB/T 1636 type B. They differ in funnel and measuring cup: the cup volume is 100 ml, 400 ml or 500 ml and the funnel outlet runs from 9.5 to 39 mm; the full table is below.
The measuring device is robust and stable, with a leveling device and adjustable feet, an adjustable filling funnel, a polished funnel and cup, and a quick release for the spout (instrument dependent). The two smaller versions weigh approx. 8 kg and the other three approx. 15 kg.
