Why is tap density important?

The tapped density is a very popular measure for powder characterization because of both the simplicity and the rapidity of the measurement. The ability of a powder sample to pack under taps gives a measure of the powder cohesiveness which can be linked to its flowability.

Why bulk density and tapped density is important?

Because the interparticulate interactions influencing the bulking properties of a powder are also the interactions that interfere with powder flow, a comparison of the bulk and tapped densities can give a measure of the relative importance of these interactions in a given powder.

What is tapped volume?

Tapped density of a powder is the ratio of the mass of the powder to the volume occupied by the powder after it has been tapped for a defined period of time. The tapped density of a powder represents its random dense packing. Tapped density can be calculated using Eq.

Is tap density higher than bulk density?

The volume of the sample decreases during the tapping procedure. Therefore the tap density is higher than the bulk density.
