In practice, powder solids dealt with industrially have grain sizes and the shapes of particles are : irregular. In the previous report, the authors have carried out the experiments related to tapping and hulk density by using two kinds of industrial powders (starch and talc) and its mixed powders and those correlations have been described.
In this study, the experiment of the penetration of a bar into powder solids layer and that of the flow-out of the powder solids through an orifice on the bottom of a vessel were carried out. The following facts, were made clear :
(1) In the former, the smaller the particle diameter is, a penetrating bar penetrates deeper when.an emery-paper is not pasted on it.
(2) In the latter, the discharge ratio increases linearly with an increase of bulk density, but the relationship for angle of repose can not be shown clearly.
