Jolting Volumeter Tapped Density Powder Tester 2 Cylinders

The JV2000 is a dual position Jolting Volumeter tapped density tester.

It is used to measure the tapped density of powders, granules and similar products in accordance with USP Chapter <616> Method 2 and EP Chapter 2.9.15.

The operation of the unit is simple. Typically measure a predetermined amount of the sample, normally 100 g +/- 0.1%, place it in the graduated cylinder provided and note the unsettled volume. Secure the graduated cylinder to the test platform of the tester. Set the number of taps to 500 and then note the resulting tapped volume. Repeat this operation for a further 750 taps noting the volume again. Continue repeating the test in increments of 1250 taps until the difference in tapped volume is less than 2%. Note the final reading  then caluculate the tapped density in grams per mL

Both cylinders will receive the same level of tapping, they are not individually controlled.  If only few samples are run then the single  cylinder JV1000 is recommended
