FAQ's of TD - 101 Tap Density Tester:
Q: How does the TD-101 Tap Density Tester work for powder and granule measurement?
A: The TD-101 operates by automatically tapping powder samples in borosilicate glass cylinders at a set frequency and stroke. It measures the increment in density after programmed taps using instant-response, digital LED display results, ensuring accuracy for samples ranging from 1 g to 100 g.
Q: What are the primary operational modes available on the TD-101 Tester?
A: This tester offers both continuous and auto stop modes. Continuous mode is ideal for extended testing, while auto stop mode allows users to set a specific tap count or timer up to 99 minutes, automatically halting the process when finished.
Q: When should I use the dual cylinder feature on this tester?
A: The dual cylinder (100 ml and 250 ml sizes) design enables simultaneous testing of two samples or different volumes. This enhances throughput and provides flexibility, particularly for laboratories handling multiple sample types or larger batch analyses.
Q: Where can the TD-101 Tap Density Tester be utilized?
A: Engineered for global compliance, this tap density tester is widely used in pharmaceutical, chemical, and food testing laboratories, especially those following USP, EP, or ASTM standards. Its versatility suits quality control, R&D, and production environments.
Q: What is the process for starting a test using this equipment?
A: To begin testing, simply place the sample in the appropriate borosilicate glass cylinder, select the desired operational mode and parameters via the digital controls, and initiate the automatic tapping. The tester displays real-time progress and provides an accurate readout upon completion.
Q: How does the RS232/USB data output feature benefit users?
A: The RS232 and USB interfaces simplify transferring test results to laboratory information management systems or external computers, supporting seamless documentation, analysis, and regulatory compliance without additional manual entry.
Q: What are the advantages of using this tap density tester over manual methods?
A: With features like programmable tapping, microprocessor control, precise digital reading, and dual cylinder testing, the TD-101 offers consistent accuracy, time savings, user convenience, and superior reproducibility compared to manual tap density measurement techniques.
