New Test Method for Measurement of Fluidity of Porcelain (Vitreous) Enamel Powders
1. Scope
2.
2.1. The test method covers the determination of the fluidity of a dry electrostatic porcelain enamel powder. The fluidity is a measure of the ability of powder to flow.
2.2. This test quickly indicates whether powder porcelain is suitable for spraying purposes.
Keywords
electrostatic porcelain; fluidity; particle shape
Rationale
The rationale is fluidized dry electrostatic porcelain enamel powder behaves like a liquid. This test method covers the measurement of fluidity, which is predictive for the ability of the powder to be pumped through automated application equipment.
