The Caleva Tapped (Bulk) Density Tester is an important
tool for checking the characteristics of powders and granulate. The Caleva
TDT is offered to hold either one (TDT1) or two (TDT2) cylinders.
The unit complies with USP method 2, EP and DIN
ISO EN787, part 11. According to the specification laid down, the Caleva TDT
taps 250 times per minute (accuracy ± 15) and has a stroke height of
2 mm. According to the specification, tapping has to be performed metal on metal.
Because this is quite noisy, Caleva introduced a rubber O ring in the test station
which eliminates most of the noise. When 100% USP/EP compliance is required,
the O-ring can be removed by the user within seconds with a pen or screw driver.
Glass cylinders with 100ml, 250 ml and 500 ml are
available for connection to the TDT series. For ease of handling, the glass
cylindersare fitted to the TDT by a quick release mechanism. The test duration
can either be set in time or number of total strokes via the numeric membrane
keypad. Test data and remaining run-time can be checked during the test on the
illuminated 4-line LCD
