Your Texture Analyzer already measures so many qualities—crispiness, flexibility, toughness, and friction, just to name a few. But what about raw materials, such as powders? These can require an entirely different testing process to ensure that granules don’t break down, or that powders flow consistently, without caking or sticking.

The TA.XTPlusC Texture Analyzer can test powders on its own, using tests such as the Cake Strength / Break Test, or the Powder Penetration Test. But if you need more, the Powder Flow Analyzer can attach directly to your TA.XTPlusC Texture Analyzer, transforming your Analyzer into a powder flow measurement system that will quantify how powders behave in every circumstance.

Knowing how to test powders can be challenging. That’s why we’re excited to announce a new resource: our guide to Powder Flow Analysis! Read through to learn more about how powder testing works, what containers to use, common issues with testing powders (and how to solve them!), and more.
