Key features
Durable: 25 million taps without loss of calibration
Our tap density testers consistently deliver high-quality results you can depend on. The Ultratap 500 series guarantees up to 25 million taps without losing calibration, offering the highest durability on the market. To further ensure your confidence, our instruments come with a three-year warranty, assuring reliable performance for years to come.
Compliant: Benefit from a complete range of standard methods
The Ultratap 500 series covers standard major measurement methods, including USP 616 methods 1, 2, and 3, providing the widest range of industry standards in a single instrument. With 24 built-in ASTM, ISO, and USP methods, integrated user management, and automatic drop height detection, the tap density testers ensure full compliance while minimizing human error, resulting in more reliable and accurate results.
Easy: The best operator experience on the market
The tap density testers offer an exceptional combination of software and hardware. The TruLock straps allow you to securely attach any cylinder with a single motion. The integrated touchscreen, and on-device software, provide instant access to all standard methods, along with the ability to create custom methods. Automatically generate reports with key parameters such as bulk density, Carr’s Compressibility Index, and the Hausner Ratio, ensuring comprehensive and accurate data every time.
Quiet: 90 % quieter than any other tap density tester
Our tap density testers are as quiet as common household appliances, eliminating the need for hearing protection. Designed with noise reduction in mind, they operate at significantly lower decibel levels (90 % quieter) than any other tap density tester on the market. For even greater sound control, an optional noise reduction cabinet is available.
