GSD = Geometric standard deviation of the lognormal particle size distribution (calculated from d50/d15.78) STDVP = standard deviation of the population

% STDVP = percentage standard deviation of the population

Coefficient of variation for d50 is less than 3%; d10 and d90 are less than 5%. Thus repeatability of the characteristic particles in the size distribution are within the acceptable limits as per the ISO 13320-1 test standard.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The particle size was analysed over the range 0.02 µm to 2000 µm using a DPM Module. The average result is calculated from the entirety of data captured in each of the five runs. The averages are: d10 - 10 % of material is <548.508, d50 - 50 % of material is <984.346, and d90 - 90 % of material is <1569.632 .
Executive summary:

The particle size was analysed over the range 0.02 µm to 2000 µm using a DPM Module. The average result is calculated from the entirety of data captured in each of the five runs. The averages are: d10 - 10 % of material is <548.508, d50 - 50 % of material is <984.346, and d90 - 90 % of material is <1569.632 .
