Figure IV-23: Hopper Half Angle vs. Hopper Outlet Dimension Graph

• In Core Flow, a Rat-hole Profile graph is generated showing powder depth vs. rat-

hole diameter.

Figure IV-24: Powder Depth vs. Rat-Hole Diameter Graph

• Time Consolidated Flow Function Test data shows two sets of Arching and Rat-hole

dimensions, one based on the instantaneous flow function curve, and one based on

the applicable time consolidated flow function curves. There is an option to use a

separate density file.
