3 About the Instrument

3.1 Description

The ERWEKA SVM has been designed for measuring the tapped volume and tapped density of powders, granules and similar products. SVM 121 / 221 ERWEKA Tapped Density Testers for the USP method 1 are available with one (SVM 121) and two test stations (SVM 221) for measuring the tapped volume and tapped density of powders, granules and similar products. The instrument features a membrane keypad and two LED displays to enter test parameters. Test parameters can be set in either time (hours/minutes/seconds) or number of strokes.

Only time can be set up for the tapped density testers of SVM 223 type.

The tapped volumeter is equipped with a standard measuring cylinder of 250 ml. Measuring cylinders of 100 ml and 500 ml with suitable adaptors are also available. All electronics employed conforms to EMV guidelines. All electronic wiring fully conforms to VDE 0.100 requirements. SVM 122 / 222 In contrast to the before mentioned SVM 121/221, the SVM 122 (with one test station) and SVM 222 (with two test stations) in respect of strokes/min. and height of stroke meets the USP method 2 and Pharm.Eur. and DIN ISO EN 787/11 standards. SVM 223 ERWEKA Tapped Density Testers, type SVM 223, combines the two different methods in one single unit. The test station 1 operates according to the USP method 1, and the test-station 2 at the same time operates according to the USP method 2/EP/DIN ISO EN 787, part 11.

3.2 Keypad

The keypad of the SVM looks as follows:

The following table outlines the functions and usage of the keys.

Key Symbol Description/Function

To select values; to scroll through menus and submenus

(further referred to as the Stop) To pause a test; to stop a test; to exit the selected menu

4 Instrument Installation

4.1 Safety instructions

The instrument is to be plugged in to a safety socket only.

The voltage of the existing current supply is to be compared to the indications on the type label.

ERWEKA accepts no liability in case of wrong connection.

In case of any failure the instrument should be opened by the authorized staff only.

Before opening the instrument, disconnect it from the rear panel.

The SVM instruments produce the noise during their functioning. To avoid disturbance, use a special noise chamber for the instrument or protect your ears.

4.2 Installation

Position the tapped density tester on a horizontal, plane surface, e.g. on a laboratory table.

Remove the support plate from the instrument.

Position the measuring cylinder onto the support plate.

Slide the cap together with the clamp ring over the measuring cylinder, press down slightly and turn to the right until the centering pin locks.

Insert the complete measuring cylinder into the unit and assure that the holding plate locks in.

4.3 Mains supply

The instrument is to be plugged in to a safety mains supply socket only. Compare the voltage of the existing current supply to the indications on the type plate.

For the current supply, connect the enclosed power cord to the socket on the rear side of the instrument and plug this power cord in to the safety socket.

4.4 Switching the instrument on

Turn on the instrument by means of the mains switch on the rear side of the instrument.

Before starting a test, the instrument should be at the correct operational temperature. Switch on the SVM 10 minutes before operating.

In case of any failure, first check the fuse in the mains input socket.

6 Performing the Tests

The SVM instruments can perform tests in two modes:

Time (maximum is 9 hours, 59 min, 59 sec.)

Number of strokes (maximum is 9999)

For the tapped density testers of type SVM 223, only the time mode is used.

Before performing the tests, you should do the following preparations:

assemble the instrument following the instructions provided in chapter 4 “Instrument Installation”

fill the measuring cylinder(s) with the product that will be tested Now follow the procedure below. To perform a test: 1. Switch the instrument on.

2. The TIME menu will be shown by default first on the LED displays. If you would like

to perform the test in time mode, use this menu to enter the time required for the test. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Using the right arrow keys, enter the needed test time value. At first, the time will be shown in the mm:ss format and each upper arrow key pressing will increase the time value by 1 second. If the value you are entering is more than 59 minutes and 59 seconds, the time will be shown in the hh:mm format and pressing the upper arrow key will increase the displayed time value by 1 minute.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _


of 30

If you would like to perform the test in speed mode, when you see the TIME menu, apply the left arrow keys to find the STRK menu for entering the number of strokes required for the test. The LED displays may look as follows on the left. Using the right arrow keys, enter the number of strokes needed for the test.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

3. After specifying the test duration or strokes, press Start. The test will begin. Depending on the mode you selected, the LED displays may look as follows.

For the test based on time:

The test speed in strokes per minute is shown on the left and the countdown of the set time – on the right.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

For the test based on the number of strokes:

The test speed in strokes per minute is shown on the left and the countdown of the set number of strokes – on the right.

After the test is finished, the previously set time/stroke value appears on the LED display again. The instrument is ready for a new test. In case the printing option is set to AUTO (see section 5.3 “PRNT menu”), the report with the test results will be printed as soon as the test is finished.


of 30

To print the report, you should have the printing option available.

If the printing option is available and enabled, but the report is not printed, check that the printer is connected appropriately to the SVM instrument.

You can interrupt the test by pressing Stop once and end it by pressing Stop twice.
