Measurement Methods:

Permeametry
Permeametry
What is it ? What is the method based on?

Determining the specific Passing a known quantity of air

through a prepared plug of
surface of powders and
powder and the specific surface
particulate materials calculated by pressure drops

Kozeny-Carman equation which

relates the volumetric flow rate of
the gas to the characteristics of the
powder bed
