Flodex Operation Manual—21-101-000 Rev. E—18 June 2019
Section 2 – Operation
Setup
1.
The Flodex should be carefully assembled as
directed in Section 1 – Assembly Instructions, steps
1 through 7. The funnel should be adjusted to meet
the approximate center of the stainless cylinder
assembly. It should be as close as convenient to the
top of the stainless cylinder and no more than 2 cm
above it.
2.
Prepare to start a test with a 16 mm flow disk. A
metal bowl or foil should be used to collect the
sample. Metal and foil discharge electrostatic
potential that builds up between particles of powder.
For the same reason, the loading funnel is stainless
steel.
Note: Failure to repeat test data may result if the
directions above are not followed. If the loading
funnel is too high above the cylinder, the powder
may not fill the load with the same untapped bulk
density for each successive test. If the powder is not
collected on a conductive sheet, it may acquire
electrostatic charge from the previous test and if the
same sample is re-run it may not pass through the
same minimum hole.
