In practice the Carr Index CI is also popular, that is defined [8] as:<br />

where:<br />

! t – tapped bulk density,<br />

! b – loose bulk density.<br />

This parameter is determined, after compaction of material by tapping, in a cylindrical<br />

container of a volume from 10 to 1000 ml, with user-defined number of taps (from 10<br />

to 500). Out of the same measurement another popular parameter, the Hausner Ratio,<br />

may be calculated as:<br />

In industrial practice it is assumed that the powder is easy flowing having CI in<br />

range from 5 to 15%, while durable tablets may produced of powder having R h not<br />

higher than 1.6.<br />

13.3. In-line control of structure of granular products<br />

For contemporary highly automated mass production in-line methods of<br />

characterization of materials are in the highest demand. In the first approach inline<br />

methods of measurement of particle size distribution were elaborated.<br />

Knowledge of particle size distribution allows for efficient process control and<br />

control of product quality. Process output continuously increases and delay<br />

between laboratory measurement and process correction may be unacceptable.<br />

Currently pneumatic conveying is extensively used in industry because it enables
