Product Description
SPECIFICATION :
Radical Microprocessor Tap Density Tester, Model RS-1951 is a density measurement equipment used to
measure tapped density of powders, as well as granulated or flaked materials by standardized and repeatable
procedures. Instrument uses the latest microprocessor technology and advanced engineering techniques so as
to give enhanced accuracy and reproducibility. System is equipped with 4 line alphanumeric LCD display with
backlit and 16 number of soft touch membrane type keys.
The unit is provided with two motorized platforms which allow for 14 2.0 mm drop height for the USP Method I
version, and a 3 0.2 mm drop height for the USP Method II version. The motorized platforms consist of two
cylinder holders with snap-lock mechanism designed to hold 100 ml and 250 ml cylinders. The simultaneous
rotating and tapping motion minimizes any possible loss of mass during tapping down.
The instrument stores the test parameters, readings and results simultaneously in the memory which are
retained even after the power is switched OFF. Provision has also been made for attachment of a printer so as to
provide hard-copy printouts of test data, including the time, date and calculated results.

FAQ's of Tap Density Tester RS-1951:
Q: How does the Tap Density Tester RS-1951 operate for measuring powders?
A: The RS-1951 operates by subjecting sample-filled glass cylinders to controlled tapping motions at a rate of 300 15 taps per minute, compacting powders or granules to determine their tap density. Users can select between continuous, preset count, or programmable timed modes, ensuring flexibility for diverse testing requirements.
Q: What are the benefits of the dual-station design in the RS-1951?
A: The dual-station configuration allows simultaneous measurement of two samples, increasing efficiency and throughput in laboratory workflows. This feature is especially valuable in busy environments or when comparative testing is required, while maintaining accuracy and repeatability.
Q: When should a laboratory use this Tap Density Tester?
A: Laboratories should use the RS-1951 when precise tap density measurements of powders or granules are needed, such as in pharmaceutical quality control, formulation development, or scientific research. Its compliance with industry standards also makes it suitable for regulatory submissions.
Q: Where can the RS-1951 be used effectively?
A: The device is suited to pharmaceutical, chemical, and scientific research laboratories where powder or granule tap density analysis is required. Its compact design and robust build make it ideal for benchtop use in both field and central lab settings.
Q: What is the tap density testing process with this device?
A: The process involves filling the supplied glass cylinder with your sample, securing it in place, and selecting the desired operation mode (timed or stroke count). After the test, the final volume is read to calculate tap density. The digital display makes operation and result retrieval straightforward.
Q: Is the RS-1951 difficult to operate or maintain?
A: No, it features a user-friendly digital interface with programmable functions for easy setup and operation. Accessories like a brush and calibration certificate are included, and its durable materials enable straightforward maintenance and long service life.
