Powder Rheology Boot Camp (VA)

Basic training

Are you new to the field of powder characterization? Or have you been involved for some time and would like to learn more about this fascinating topic?

This Powder Rheology Boot Camp will provide you with answers to all of your questions about the characterization of flow and deformation of powders.

By the time you leave this course, you will:

  • Grasp the basic theory associated with powder rheology,
  • Understand the design and operation of the powder shear cell and powder flow cell,
  • Appreciate the impact powder processing and handling has on powder rheology,
  • Recognize which measurement type to make to solve your application,
  • Excel at interpretation of measurement results.

Powder Rheology Boot Camp will combine theory, exercises, real-life applications, and hands-on measurements for an effective and engaging learning experience.
