GNPGraystar has a very well-equipped laboratory for detailed examination of our products. We can analyze Particle Sizing (both for macrogrits and microgrits), Particle Shape, Bulk Density, Specific Surface Area, Moisture & LOI, Magnetics, Viscossity, Hall Flow, Angle of Repose, Crushing Strength, and more.
Our lab is available for analyzing your products as well. We offer these services on a toll basis with quick turnaround time.
GNPGraystar measures particle sizing for macrogrits and refractory splits via Rotap screens. For fines, powders, and microgrits, we have several pieces of equipment to measure the particle size distribution including a Microtrac Sync, a Coulter Multisizer, and a Canty (optical analyzer).
We utilize our Canty to not only measure particle sizing but also particle shape. This unit, which employs a high-speed camera, takes photos of each particle and allows the user to evaluate shape and size of each particle.
GNPGraystar has the equipment available to measure loose pack density (ASTM B74.4), tap density, as well as specific gravity (true density) via helium pycnometry.
Through the use of our Micromeritics Gemini Surface Area Analyzer, we can measure the specific surface area of your powder.
We have an automated moisture analyzer that we can use to rapidly measure the moisture in grains and powders. We also have drying and sintering furnaces that allow us to measure Loss on Ignition (LOI).
With the use of our Buck Analyzer (Micromeritics MA-1040 Magnetic Analyzer) we can measure the percent of free magnetics (iron) in your or our grains and powders.
With the use of our Viscometer, we can measure the viscosity of your slurry.
We have the necessary equipment to measure a powder’s Hall Flow and its Angle of Repose.
