Customer samples are tested using as a function of consolidation stress. Shear cell methodology is the technical approach used to test all customer samples in accordance with ASTM D6128, D6682, and D6773. An environmental chamber is available for controlling humidity and temperature as required.

The testing is completed within five business days and the results are emailed to the customer. These reports enable the customer to see actual data which can be used to improve their process through the use of flow aids, set benchmarks for existing powders, and serve as a reference for future formulations.

Brookfield offers the first three Powder Sample Tests for free with a nominal charge for additional sample testing. Customers are also given the opportunity to use the PFT at their facility for a one week trial period.
