The BeDensi series offers various devices that comply with different norms for determining bulk density and flowability. The following table provides an overview for initial orientation:
| Measuring device | Measuring parameters and application | Norms |
| HFlow 1 | Bulk density and flow rate of metals, pharmaceutical powders, and granulates | ISO 4490 ISO 3923-1 ISO 3923-1 ASTM B213 ASTM B964 |
| BeDensi B1 | Bulk density of non-metallic powders | GB/T 1679013 |
| BeDensi B1-S | Bulk density of metals, pharmaceutical powders, and granulates | USP 616 EP 2.9.34 ISO 3923-2 ASTM B329 |
| BeDensi P | Bulk density of plastics and molding materials | ISO 60 GB/T 1636-2008 |
The HFlow 1 can be used to determine the bulk density and flow rate of pharmaceutical and metallic powders in particular in accordance with various norms (see above). There are three standard funnels available: Hall (2.5 mm opening width), Carney (5 mm opening width), and Gustavsson (2.5 mm opening width, 30° angle).
The BeDensi B1 is suitable for measuring the bulk density of non-metallic powders in accordance with GB/T 16913-4:3. It is used in various areas, e.g., food, industrial chemicals, energy battery powders, etc.
BeDensi B1-S is a Scott volumeter for determining the bulk density of metal powders, granulates, and pharmaceutical products. With this unit, the powder falls through a collection container with four inclined (angle 25°) glass plates, two of which are arranged opposite each other.
BeDensi P is a bulk density measuring device for plastics and molding compounds. It meets the requirements of ISO 60.
