Executive summary:

The objective of the test was to determine the particle size distribution of a solid test item by test sieving in the most satisfactory conditions.

Type of distribution: particle size distribution. The particules were spread like this: 21.8% between 4 mm and 2.8 mm, 32.1% between 2.8 and 2 mm, 33.8% between 2 and 1.4 mm, and 12.2% under 1.44 mm.

Description of key information

In compliance with Guideline OECD No. 110 (1981) NF ISO 2591-1 (1989); NFX11-507 (1989) a granulometry test was performed to determine the particule size distribution of the solid test item by test sieving in the most satisfactory conditions.

The particule size distribution results are : 21.8% between 2.8 mm and 4 mm, 32.1% between 2 and 2.8 mm, 33.8% between 1.4 and 2 mm, and 12.2% under 1.4 mm.
