Specific details on test material used for the study:
Batch No.: 190722
Purity: > 99 wt%
Mass median aerodynamic diameter:
47.3 µm
Geometric standard deviation:
2.559
Remarks on result:
other: Mean of five runs
Percentile:
D10
Mean:
7.92 µm
St. dev.:
0.159
Percentile:
D50
Mean:
30.6 µm
St. dev.:
0.68
Percentile:
D90
Mean:
90.6 µm
St. dev.:
3.82

The coefficient of variation for d50 is less than 3%, and for d10 and d90 is less than 5%. It can be concluded that the repeatability of the measured particle size distributions is within the acceptable limits.

Conclusions:
The D50 of the test item was determined to be 30.6 μm, the D10 was 7.92 μm and the D90 was 90.6 μm. The MMAD of the test item, for the relative density and the mean d50, was calculated to be 47.3 μm.
Executive summary:

The particle size distribution of the test item was determined by means of Laser Diffraction Analysis using the medium volume (wet) module (MVM) based on the method as described in ISO 13320:2009.

The D50 of the test item was determined to be 30.6 μm, the D10 was 7.92 μm and the D90 was 90.6 μm. The MMAD of the test item, for the relative density and the mean d50, was calculated to be 47.3 μm.
