• Explanation and Evaluation Series Often the industry must overcome problems related to (and often dominated by) the flow properties of their product, through the relationship between these properties and production related issues are not always immediately apparent. It is the purpose of this series of articles, to help illuminate the issues faced by the industry, how they relate to the flow properties of the problem materials and how they can be successfully measured and controlled with a view to better processing. • How to Measure Series The notes focus on commonly encountered measurement issues and suggest solutions for solving these challenges. Each application note includes: working definitions, background and discussion comparing current testing procedures and methods and summaries the measuring techniques in a comparison table by method/instrument used.
