Angle of Repose

  • Angle of Repose is the maximum angle at which a material (such as powder or granules) remains stable without sliding or collapsing.
  • It measures the flowability of powders—lower angles indicate better flow properties.

Formula:

Where:

  • θ = Angle of repose (in degrees)
  • h = Height of the cone formed by the material
  • r = Radius of the base of the cone

Significance of Angle of Repose:

  • θ<30: Excellent flow.
  • 30∘−40∘: Good flow.
  • >40∘>: Poor flow.
