Safety
Safety Practices and Hazards

“Tap Density Tester – TD1025” has been carefully designed so that when used properly you

have an accurate, fast, flexible and safe instrument.

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by

the equipment may be impaired.

Operation of a Tapped Density Tester involves the use of powders. Unskilled, improper, or

careless use of this instrument can create shock hazards, fire hazards or other hazards which can

cause death, serious injury to personnel, or severe damage to equipment and property.

Information on safety practices is provided with your instrument and operation manuals. Before

using your instrument or accessories, you must thoroughly read these safety practices.

Tap density tester generates irritating noise during its normal operation. User should use acoustic

cabinet designed by Labindia.

Observe all relevant safety practices at all times.

Page 3 of 57
Electrical Hazards:-

Tap Density Tester contains electrical circuit, devices and components operating at dangerous

voltages. Contact with these circuits, devices and components can cause a death, serious injury

or painful electrical shock.

Enclosure, covers that are retain by fasteners, which require the use of a tools for removal may

be opened by Labindia trained, Labindia qualified or Labindia authorized service engineers.

Consult the manuals of the Tapped Density Tester to determine which parts are operator-

accessible.

Application of the wrong supply voltage, connection of the instrument to an incorrectly wired

supply outlet or improper electrical grounding can create a fired hazards or a potentially serious

shock hazard and could seriously damage the instrument and any attached accessory.

Always use a three-wire outlet with ground connection which is adequately rated for the load. The

installation must comply with local, state and federal safety regulations.

 Power cord – The Instrument uses detachable ac power cord with earth connection.

Failure to ensure adequate earth grounding by not using this cord may cause instrument

damage. If the power cord becomes damaged, replace immediately.

 Fuses – Fuse ratings are clearly indicated on all fuse panels adjacent to the fuse holder. If

and when replacement is necessary, the correct fuse rating must be adhered to.

Other :-
Other specific warnings and cautions appear in the manuals where appropriate and detail the

specific hazard, describe now to avoid it, and specify the possible consequences not heeding the

warning or caution.

Page 4 of 57

Introduction

Theory / Introduction of Tap Density

The Tapped Density Tester provides a standardized, reproducible method for measuring the
tapped or bulk density of powdered, granulated, or flaked materials. This is important since
changes in the tap density of raw materials can affect their performance during the manufacturing
process. For example, powders which do not meet the normal incoming QC tapped density
specification might tend to clog tablet presses and disrupt the manufacturing process.

The tapping action is generated by a rotating eccentric camshaft which lifts the platform and
allows it to drop back to its original position. To sprayed unevenly packed powder surface, tygon
tubing is attached at the base of holder which is used to rotate the holder approximately 5 – 15
rotations per minute.

Page 8 of 57
Features
 Designed to meet current USP<C616> and ASTM B527 specifications for tap density testing.
 The unique simultaneous tapping and rotating motion assures that the material is evenly
packed.
 Individual Drive for 14mm and 3mm tapping drop height.
 Two cylinder holders will hold 100ml and 250ml cylinders.
 Calculates test results – Tapped Density, Compressibility Index, Hausner Ratio and Bulk
Density.
 Balance Interface for sample weight transfer.

Maintenance
And
Troubleshooting

Instrument Cleaning:-
The Tap Density Tester TD-1025 needs no maintenance except for an occasional wipe with a damp cloth.
The exterior surface can be cleaned with tepid water and soft cloth. The front sticker is made of F200
polypropylene material and is not affected by the solvents. Do not use any abrasives & solvents like
Chloroform, toluene, xylene Acetone and methyl-ethyl-ketone without consulted your Labindia Analytical
Instruments Pvt. Ltd representative. It is good laboratory practice to wipe away any spills as soon as they
occur.

  Before cleaning the instrument unplug the power cord from the power source.

Periodic maintenance is needed if frequency of instrument usage is large. To wipe all spills or errant
materials from the exterior of the instrument or any exposed part using a clean cloth and plain water.

Cylinder cleaning:-
Careful handling is required for removing the cylinder from the holder. Please refer page no. 12 for cylinder
assembly and disassembly procedure. The cylinders can be cleaned by using soap water followed by
distilled water. Dry the cylinder in oven.

Store all the cylinders in dry place.

Warning
The Tapped Density Tester contains electrical circuits, devices, and components
operating at dangerous voltages. Contact with these circuits, devices, and
components can cause death, serious injury, or painful electric shock.

Page 44 of 57
Mains Fuse Replacement:-

printed table. The fuse holder holds the fuse. To replace the fuse perform the following steps :-

1) Verify the instrument is off.

2) Unplug the power cord from source.
3) Remove the mains Fuse cover cap (Anti-clockwise)
4) Replace the new fuse with same type & amp range.
5) Put the fuse in fuse cover & fit into the fuse holder (clockwise).
6) Reconnect the power cord from power source.

Motor Fuse Replacement:-

The motor fuse is located on the back panel of the Tap Density Tester and its rating is indicated in screen
printing. The fuse holder holds the fuse. To replace the fuse perform the following steps :-

1) Verify the instrument is off.

2) Unplug the power cord from source.
3) Remove the Motor Fuse cover cap (Anti-clockwise)
4) Replace the new fuse with same type & amp range.
5) Put the fuse in fuse cover & fit into the fuse holder (clockwise).
Reconnect the power cord from power source

PC Setup - Data Downloading Capability to Personal Computer

Installation/setup Instructions:
The instrument software has been incorporated with RS232C protocol interface for transferring
the printable data to PC having standard data terminal software Windows - Hyper terminal.

Features of PC data transfer,

1. Data transfer selectivity in function menu : Printer or Personal computer.

2. All reports - a) Result, b) Program Parameter and c) Validation Report which are available for
printing can be transfer to PC on-line/off-line (needs Hyper terminal active in the PC).
3. The data is captured as ASCII character via Hyper terminal software and then can be saved
by the user as MS word doc or text file by Note Pad with suitable name by using Cut Paste
utility. Since the communication is based in Terminal emulation mode for supporting Table
borders – the Font also should be selected as “Terminal” only.

COM Port Configuration/Settings:-

Setting HYPERACCESS NEW CONNECTION and COM port selection:-

If the COM port chosen is not free or being used by

another application a pop up screen will be displayed with
message “Unable to Open COM”.

When a free Com port is selected The COM port Properties Pop up will be displayed on the
screen.

BALANCE CONNECTIVITY

Balance Communication interface (Sartorious / Mettler)

The TD-1025 Tap Density Tester uses serial (RS232) communications. Connect balance cable to RS232-I
Port on the rear side of the instrument. The communication parameters on the balance are variable. Labindia
TD-1025 uses following default parameters.

Baud rate : 9600

Parity : N

Bits : 8

Stop bit : 1

Note : Character format on balance to be set to 16 characters.

Page 53 of 57
 APPENDIX - E

CALCULATIONS

1) Bulk Density = M / Vo

2) Tap Density = M / Vf

3) Comprssibility index = (Vo – Vf )* 100 / Vo

4) Hausner ratio = Vo / Vf

Where M = Weight of sample in gm.

Vo = Initial volume of sample
Vf = Final volume of sample
3
The density of solids normally is expressed in g per cm and that of liquids is normally expressed in g per
mL; however, because powder volumes are measured in cylinders graduated in mL, bulk and tapped
3
densities will be expressed in g per mL. By definition, the mL and the cm are equivalent volumes.
