Materials & Processes


The FT4 Powder Rheometer delivers information that helps powder processing industries to maximise process and product understanding, and accelerate R&D, formulation and commercialisation, as well as supporting process optimisation. FT4 systems are installed in many different sectors, including the chemical, pharmaceutical, toners, foods, powder coatings, metals, ceramics, cosmetics and other industries.


Advances in software


Micromeritics’ new innovative MicroActive data analysis software allows users to interactively evaluate isotherm data from Micromeritics’ ASAP, TriStar, and Gemini gas adsorption instruments. Interaction with adsorption data is direct. Users can


easily include or exclude data, fitting the desired range of experimentally acquired data points. Interactive data manipulation minimises the use of dialogue boxes to specify calculation parameters allowing accurate and efficient determination of surface area and porosity of their materials. By simply moving calculation bars with the cursor, the user is immediately updated with the new textural properties. One-click access to important parameters allows the user to


focus on the result rather than the parameters. It is not necessary to generate reports to view results - now see it graphically and interactively on the screen. Screen layout has been designed to provide a user-

friendly interface. Rapidly switch between a user-selectable experimental data view and traditional advanced or basic views. Isotherms can be viewed on either a linear or logarithmic scale, available to the user under each calculation model.

High-speed approach


VisualSpreadsheet V3.2-enabled FlowCAM replaces cumbersome, manual microscopy and volumetric-based systems such as laser diffraction that assume all particles to be spherical with a modern, high-speed approach that bases measurements on actual, individual images, which permits the amount of curl or straightness to be reliably calculated. The new VisualSpreadsheet V3.2 is an intuitively easy to


use spreadsheet-based interface for viewing the images and measurement data and analysing the data in a variety of custom graphs and overlays while also filtering and sorting in real-time without re-running the sample. The particle analyser software comes installed with the FlowCAM instrumentation and is backwards compatible for retrofit on FlowCAM models in the field. Finally, HORIBA has concluded a basic contract with the


Beijing Centre for Physical and Chemical Analysis (BCPCA), a state-owned research institute in Beijing, China, to establish a joint R&D centre, aiming to facilitate collaborative research on new analysis and measurement methods and equipment. Since establishing the HORIBA Application Laboratory


in BCPCA in 2001, the company has built a relationship of trust with BCPCA by providing its analysis and measurement services, as well as technology exchanges. l
