An accelerated powder segregation testing apparatus and method are disclosed. The apparatus consists of an angularly oriented ramp mounted on a vibration device The powder to be tested is fed into an origin portion of the ramp and when the vibrator is activated, the powder moves along the ramp As the powder exits after the test, unit-dose powder samples are collected, compacted and analyzed for differential in content uniformity. By comparing the results from several formulations, the formulation that is most resistant to segregation can be selected for production. 1. An apparatus for accelerated powder segregation testing , comprising:{'b': 10', '10', '14', '18, 'a. a ramp oriented at an angle X, the ramp having an origin and an output ; and'}{'b': 22', '10', '10', '22, 'b. an agitator connected to the ramp in a manner to cause the ramp to vibrate when the agitator is activated.'}2101012. The apparatus described in claim 1 , wherein the ramp is in the form of a helix and the ramp is supported on a column .31028. The apparatus described in claim 1 , wherein the ramp is formed with a “V” shape in cross section.42422. The apparatus described in claim 1 , further comprising a control connected to the agitator .51814. The apparatus described in claim 1 , wherein the output is higher than the origin .6. The apparatus described in claim 1 , wherein angle X is between approximately 5.0° and 10.0°.7. The apparatus described in claim 6 , wherein angle X is approximately 7.5°.82224. The apparatus described in claim 1 , wherein the agitator is capable of being varied by the control for amplitude and frequency.9. A method for accelerated segregation testing of powder blends claim 1 , comprising the steps of:{'b': 10', '22', '10', '14', '18, 'a. providing a testing apparatus having an angled ramp and an agitator , the ramp having an origin and an output ;'}{'b': 10', '14, 'b. placing a quantity of a powder blend on the ramp at the origin ;'}{'b': 22', '10, 'c. activating the ...
