Measuring flow by volumeas compared with flow per unit mass eliminates the variable ofthe powder density and relates to the product

11、ion practice of diefilling by volume.5.2 The ability of a powder to flow and pack is a function ofinterparticle friction. As the surface area increases, the amountof friction in a powder mass also increases. Consequently, thefriction between particles increases, giving less efficient flowand packing
