Abstract
The flowability of bulk solids has to be known for many practical appl ications. The present paper describes how the flowability is defined a nd on which physical properties it depends. Experimental determination of the flowability using a shear test is demonstrated. Conditions inf luencing measuremed results are described. Finally an overview of vari ous methods used for characterization of the flowability of bulk solid s is given.
