Product Description:
Qualtech Products Industry Gustavsson Flowmeter with a Gustavsson Funnel is a precision density measurement instrument to determine the Flow Rate, the Flow Qualities, the Bulk Density and the Apparent Density of loose sample products and loose sample materials, e.g. powders.
This professional Gustavsson Flow Meter is designed and engineered offering a solid and ergonomic stand combined with a precision engineered Gustavsson Funnel with an orifice diameter of 0.1″ (2.5 mm), a Density Cup, a digital Stopwatch, a Powder Tray, a Lid, a Brush, and much more.
An electronic scale and balance is optional available offering highest accuracy and precision to measure the Apparent Density of powders.
This Gustavsson Flow Test Method is the ideal apparent density measurement instrument for research and quality management to efficiently evaluate the flow qualities and the apparent density of loose samples, for example, metal powder and related sample materials.
This precision Gustavsson Flowmeter is suitable to test a wide range of loose samples including food powder products, metal powders, plastic powders, ceramic powders, pharmaceutical powders, chemical powders, cement powders and many related materials.
This professional Gustavsson Flowmeter is designed and engineered in accordance with international test standards including:
Gustavsson Flowmeter Kit - Features
The Gustavsson Funnel method is used to evaluate the flowability and apparent density of fine powders, especially metallic and ceramic powders used in additive manufacturing, powder metallurgy, and high‑precision industrial processes. The Gustavsson Flowmeter Test Method uses a calibrated precision engineered Gustavsson Funnel with a 2.5 mm orifice, allowing the powder to flow freely under gravity while measuring the flow time and the mass of powder that passes through. This provides insight into how powders behave during dosing, filling, spreading, or sintering operations.
Experts rely on the Gustavsson Flowmeter Kit because it offers a repeatable, low‑complexity measurement that correlates strongly with particle morphology, surface roughness, moisture content, and internal friction. Powders with irregular shapes, high surface area, or poor lubrication typically show longer flow times or may not flow at all. The Gustavsson Funnel is particularly sensitive to subtle differences in powder treatment, making it useful for quality control and batch comparison.
In addition to flow time, the method is often paired with an apparent density measurement using a standardized density cup. Together, these parameters help engineers predict how powders will behave in real‑world processes such as die filling, powder bed recoating, or compaction. Because the method is standardized including ISO 13517, results are comparable across laboratories and suppliers, supporting consistent material qualification and process optimization.
