Bulk density of moulding compounds (apparent density)

In short — AI-generated

This test determines the bulk density of plastic moulding compounds that can be poured through a standardized funnel. A specific volume of the material is poured into a measuring cylinder of known volume, and the mass of this material is then weighed to calculate the density.

The resulting value indicates how much space a specific mass of material occupies in its loose, granular state. This information is essential for designing storage silos, calculating transport volumes, and ensuring consistent dosing during the production of flexible packaging materials.
