Sieve Size (µm) Weight of Test Item (g) Material Passed Through Sieve Residue (Rx) % 
dx(g) Percentage (%)
710 10.0145 9.5704 95.57 4.43
500 10.0105 8.0335 80.25 19.75
300 10.0038 6.6942 66.92 33.08
210 10.0132 5.0647 50.58 49.42
150 10.0181 3.9757 39.69 60.31
45 10.0137 0.7652 7.64 92.36
Conclusions:
D50: between 150 - 210 µm
Executive summary:

The particle size distribution of the test item was determined as per CIPAC MT 59, “Dry Sieve test”.

The dry sieve test was carried out in single replicate. The sieve with 45 µm size retained more than 90 % of the particles; the sieve with 710 µm size, retained less than 10 % of the particles. The D50 was recorded between 150 - 210 µm.

Conclusion

D50: between 150 - 210 µm

Description of key information
