What is Powder Flow?

Powder flow refers to the movement or behavior of powdered materials under various conditions. The study of the behavior of powders as bulk assemblies, consisting of solids, liquids and gases is powder rheology. It examines how powders flow under applied stress, allowing users to measure the dynamic flow and shear properties of powders as well as quantifying bulk properties such as density, compressibility, and permeability.

Powder flow is influenced by factors such as particle size, shape, density, surface area, moisture content, and electrostatic charges. These characteristics can significantly impact manufacturing processes, product quality, and performance.
