ABSTRACT:
A compaction device for determining envelope and bulk densities of sample materials. The device uses a rotating sample cylinder and a plunger positioned within the cylinder. The force on the plunger is measured as the plunger advances in the cylinder. The position of the plunger at which a predetermined level of force is applied thereto is determined. Envelope density is determined from the difference in the advance of the plunger when the cylinder is partially filled with a dry flowing medium and when a sample material such as a rigid object is added into the medium. Bulk density is determined from the difference in the advance of the plunger when the cylinder is empty and when the cylinder contains a sample material such as a powder.
