Results

The dispersing pressure was adjusted to 3.0 bar and the feeding rate was set to 30 %. Three metal balls were used as sieving aid. The particle size distribution of Frits was determined using the laser diffraction method. The particle size distribution of Frits was determined following to CIPAC MT 187 in duplicate. Table 1 summarizes the results of the particle size distribution.

Discussion and Conclusion

The particle size distribution was determined using the laser diffraction method with dry dispersion. The particle size distribution of Frits was determined following CIPAC MT 187. The dispersing pressure was adjusted to 3.0 bar and the feeding rate was 30 %. Three metal balls were used as sieving aid.

For the volume based particle size distribution the following results were obtained. The L10 D (v, 0.1) was determined to be 0.565 µm, the L50 D (v, 0.5) was determined to be 2.448 µm and the L90 D (v, 0.9) was determined to be 6.718 µm.
