FAQ's of Tap Density Test Apparatus - Model : TDCal10:
Q: How does the TDCal10 Tap Density Test Apparatus operate?
A: TDCal10 can be operated in both manual and automatic modes. The user places the sample in the graduated cylinders, sets the desired tapping frequency and timer digitally, and initiates the test. The apparatus then performs controlled tapping, automatically stopping after the set time or number of taps.
Q: What types of samples are compatible with TDCal10?
A: TDCal10 is specifically designed for powder and granule samples. It includes interchangeable glass cylinders to accommodate variable sample volumes, supporting up to 250 ml per cylinder. Custom cylinder designs are available on request for specialized applications.
Q: When should calibration and maintenance be performed?
A: Routine calibration can be conducted using certified mass standards, as recommended by regulatory guidelines. TDCal10 requires minimal maintenance due to its low-maintenance design; periodic cleaning and inspection are suggested to ensure optimal performance and measurement accuracy.
Q: Where is TDCal10 typically used?
A: TDCal10 is widely employed in laboratories within pharmaceutical, chemical, and material testing industries for determining tap density of substances. It is suitable for settings that require compliance with USP, BP, or IP measurement standards and accurate density data.
Q: What is the process for measuring tap density using this model?
A: The sample is placed in the graduated cylinder and initial volume is recorded. The apparatus then taps the material at a user-selected frequency and time. After completion, the final compacted volume is measured, and the tap density is calculated by dividing sample mass by its tapped volume.
Q: How does TDCal10 ensure measurement accuracy and user safety?
A: TDCal10 meets USP/BP/IP standards for tap density measurements. It features overload protection, a safety lock, and an anti-corrosive finish to prevent damage and maintain user safety throughout operation. Calibration checks further confirm ongoing measurement reliability.
Q: What benefits does using TDCal10 offer?
A: Using TDCal10 delivers accurate, repeatable tap density results, high operational safety, and flexible handling of various sample sizes. Its low-maintenance design, robust construction, and compliance with international standards make it an efficient and reliable choice for laboratory professionals.
