FLOWABILITY MEASUREMENT METHOD, FLOWABILITY MEASUREMENT APPARATUS, AND FLOWABILITY MEASUREMENT SYSTEM

To easily measure the flowability of a substance while reducing labor.SOLUTION: A flowability measurement method according to the present invention comprises: installing a sensor 20 inside a rotatable container 12 installed in a facility so that the sensor rotates as the container 12 rotates: feeding a substance M into the container 12; rotating the container 12 to cause the sensor 20 to pass through the substance M, and measuring, by the sensor 20, pressure received from the substance M at that time of the passing through; and calculating flowability of the substance M based on the pressure measured by the sensor 20. Thereby, it is possible to calculate the flowability of the substance M without taking the substance M into and out of the container 12, and it is also possible to continuously grasp the flowability of the substance M while continuously rotating the container 12 as necessary. Therefore, it is possible to greatly reduce labor, and to easily measure the flowability of the substance M while enhancing work efficiency.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】物質の流動性を、労力を軽減しながら容易に計測する。【解決手段】本流動性計測方法は、施設内に設置された回転可能な容器１２の内部に、容器１２の回転に伴って回動するようにセンサ２０を設置し、容器１２内に物質Ｍを投入し、容器１２を回転させて物質Ｍ内にセンサ２０を通過させ、そのときに物質Ｍから受けた圧力をセンサ２０により計測し、センサ２０により計測された圧力に基づいて、物質Ｍの流動性を算出する。これにより、物質Ｍを容器１２から出し入れする必要なく、物質Ｍの流動性を算出することができ、しかも、必要に応じて、容器１２を継続的に回転させながら連続して物質Ｍの流動性を把握することができる。このため、労力を大幅に軽減することが可能となり、作業効率を向上させつつ、容易に物質Ｍの流動性を計測することができる。【選択図】図２
