Particle size distribution (Granulometry)

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

particle size distribution (granulometry)

Type of information:

other: Internal data

Remarks:

SAP extract

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Qualifier:

equivalent or similar to guideline

Guideline:

ISO 13320 (Particle size analysis - Laser diffraction methods)

Version / remarks:

Internal Company method

Principles of method if other than guideline:

- Basic principle
This method of measurement is based on the interaction between light beams and solid particles. Under the assumption of spherical particles, a laser diffraction pattern can be used to deduce the particle size distribution within a sample.

- Apparatus
Cilas granulometer
Measuring range: 0.04-2500 μm

- Procedure
The sample is suspended in a suitable liquid, if necessary, under the addition of a dispersion agent. The suspension is homogenized by stirring and treatment with ultrasound and subsequently pumped through a cuvette. The cuvette is simultaneously radiated by a helium-neon-laser. The light diffraction pattern resulting from the interaction of laser beam and solid particles is detected by a photomultiplier and converted into a particle size distribution by a processor unit.

Type of method:

Laser scattering/diffraction
