flowability
How well something pours
Flowability is how readily a substance flows.
The term appears in technical contexts—pharmaceuticals, food science, materials engineering—where the movement of powders, granules, or liquids matters: The flowability of the powder affected tablet compression.
Poor flowability causes clumping or blockages; good flowability means smooth, predictable movement through equipment.
