Two test series of 3 measurements each were performed with the test item. On the left y-axis the fraction distribution and on the right y-axis the cumulative distribution is shown.

 

Test serie 1:

D10:      2.6 µm

D50:      6.2 µm           (Median diameter)

D90:      11.3 µm

 

Test serie 2:

D10:      2.5 µm

D50:      6.1 µm           (Median diameter)

D90:      11.0 µm

 

Average

D10:      2.5 µm

D50:      6.1 µm       (Median diameter)

D90:      11.1 µm

Conclusions:
The test item calcium wolframate has a median particle size D50 = 6 µm, which was determined by laser diffraction measurement in accordance to inter alia ISO 13320 (2009) and CIPAC MT 187 (2009) method.
