The flowability characteristic of a powder is directly related to both the physical properties of the material itself, as well as the specific processing conditions in the handling system. Consequently, for such a complex system, a “single number” used to describe the flow of a powder may not be realistic or may not provide sufficient information. Physical properties such as particle size, size distribution, shape, surface area, and density all play a role in how powders flow. Anyone who handles powders understands that flow properties can easily change when a material is moved from one environment to another.
