Powder tester is at heart of analytical
laboratory
The FT4 universal powder tester unifies three methodologies in a single instrument - the measurement of bulk, shear and dynamic properties - to deliver a comprehensive picture of powder behaviour
Freeman Technology's FT4 powder rheometer is proving to be a central piece of instrumentation in the analytical laboratory at Enser in Florida, USA Enser designs, develops, qualifies and manufactures high reliability storage batteries for a wide range of military applications

Module will enable users to extend the range of shear testing applications on the FT4 powder rheometer to include those for which only very small amounts of sample are available
James Pugh, senior engineer at Enser, explained: "Our business is heavily involved in the processing and utilisation of powders from synthesis to product implementation.
"As such, the knowledge and understanding of unique powder properties is crucial.
"The centerpiece of our powder analytical laboratory is the Freeman Technology FT4 powder rheometer.
"In less than one year we have run over 600 individual powder tests with the rheometer and have directly applied the findings to production".
Engineer Tony Lang added: "The FT4 has been an integral part of at least two Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grants and will be applied to future grants as well.
"We look forward to many years of productivity and support from the instrument and collaboration with Freeman Technology.".
