The relationship between 1 µm and 10 µm size particles is 1:1000 in the case of the volume standard even though it is 1:1 for the number standard. Inversely, particles exists in a 1000:1 relationship in the case of the number standard even though it is 1:1 for a volume standard. Thus, quite a different impression can be imparted even for the ...
DetailsD‾43 = the mean diameter over volume (also called the de Brouckere mean) The example results shown in ASTM E 799 are based on a distribution of liquid droplets (particles) ranging from 240 - 6532 µm. For this distribution the following results were calculated: D (1,0) = 1460 µm. D (3,2) = 2280 µm.
DetailsVolume Distribution. The volume distribution is the distribution per volume of the particle sizes, shown as a differential of total volume of all counts. Volume is a cubic function of the particle size and is representative of the distribution in a column fill. I.e. a 100 µm bead will occupy 1000 times the volume of a 10 µm bead.
Detailsthe easiest method for calculating particle size. Pfost and Headley (1976) have described equations that can be used to calculate d gw, Sgw, surface area, and particles per gram based upon a log-normal distribution of ground grain samples. The authors have created a program for particle size analysis using a spreadsheet (see Case Study).

DetailsInterpreting results of a particle size measurement requires an understanding of which technique was used and the basis of the calculations. Each technique generates a different result since each measures different physical properties of the sample. Once the physical property is measured, a calculation of some type generates a representation of a …
DetailsThe particle size is one of the most important characteristics of particulate materials. It directly affects several properties, from the accessibility of minerals during processing to the mouthfeel of many foods. In industry, the aim of particle size measurement is to first find a correlation between the particle size and the property of ...
DetailsAt the core of the method is the conversion of the particle size distribution from millimeters to the phi scale by the following formula: $$ phi = -log_{2}d $$ Followed by the calculation of a set of parameters: Median: see above. Measured in phi units; Mean: definition as above, however Folk proposed his own formula (R.L. Folk, 1957):
