EXPLORING ANGLE OF REPOSE: DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OFMEASUREMENT METHODS

Abstract

Objective: The main objective of our study was to design, development and compare the present method to measure angle of repose and novel developed apparatus for Angle of repose measurement of bulk solids such powders or granules.

Methods: Traditional method to measure angle of repose and apparatus based angle of repose determination method.

Results: The novel apparatus is developed for measuring angle of repose of granules which showed easy, fast, accurate and precise results.

Conclusion: In field of pharmaceutical industry, the determination of angle of repose have limited set of techniques, do not have specific process and not shows accurate, precise results. To overcome the limitations of traditional method novel apparatus designed and developed which gives more promising option and for accurate, precise, reliable determination of Angle of repose.
