Particle size distribution (Granulometry)

Administrative data

Endpoint:
particle size distribution (granulometry)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
09 February 2010
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
NON GLP study. It was assessed that Laser scattering diffraction method is suitable to determine the distribution of particles. No information about calibration of the instrument has been reported. Test item particle size is in the applicability range of the method (0.1 - 100 microns).

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The particle size distribution has been determined by a laser diffraction equipment, Malvern Masterziser.
After dissolving few grams of technical material in water the detection of particle size distribution started and recorded on a Gaussian distribution curve.
