Title: Apparatus and method for determining the flow characteristics of a granular material
Inventor: PHILIP ANTHONY CARROLL
IPC: B65D79/02
Filed: 2017-06-29
Abstract: A container and/or its lid has a surface for determining the flow characteristics of granular material. An angled projection may depend from a lid (figs 1 to 3), and the curvature of the projection may increase incrementally. A perpendicular baffle may project from a lid (figs 4 to 6); angled projections may depend from a container side (figs 7 to 10); and a perpendicular projection may depend from a container side. The container may be used to test whether metal powder for additive manufacturing has been ruined by condensation, without opening the container and causing further spoiling. For example, when upturning and then rightening the container, if powder sticks to an upright section of the projection, the material may be ruined, whereas if grains flow freely from angled sections of the projection, the material has good flow characteristics and may be unspoiled. The projection may have a scale.
