Rheology of fluidised granular flows – finding the right mass flow controller for volcano research
Successful research depends on high-quality, reliable data, which in turn, can only be generated by well-calibrated equipment. For research establishments, such as universities, repurposing equipment for new projects can be cost-effective, however, the equipment must still be able to meet the requirements of the new projects. For one post-doctorate researcher at Lancaster University, the latest investigation involves experimental work using equipment that needs to operate at relatively low air flow rates. The solution came from Bürkert, which supplied the original mass flow controller.
