While this one is my personal favorite, I think you are looking for some thing more modern and technical.

Early 18th Century Gunpowder Tester Signed F. Richter For Sale at 1stDibs
 
Seems all other brands are one word, so a one or two syllable name would be best - swiss, goex, pyrodex, 777, schuetzen, etc.

Welcome. lately I have switched to APP, with great results.
 
Owner of Belding & Mull, Inc. Starting to make BP. Looking for black powder tester, to test power.
I use my 1848 3rd Model Dragoon as a powder tester, hasn't hurt it a bit. Just use a tried and true method, ball milling each ingredient helps make a uniform powder. I graphite coat my powder for more uniform powder ignition. A pistol works fine for me.
 
If a person had some sort of consistent medium, like wet or oiled sawdust, I wonder if the penetration of a ball fired from a pistol would give a good measure of the relative power of one batch compared to another?
