Apparatus used: Coulter LS 13 320 and common laboratory equipment.
5.2.2. Description of the Method
The particle size analysis test was performed in accordance to a test procedure no. SPO/BF/24/b (ed. 4) based in CIPAC MT 187 using Coulter LS 13 320 with ULM (Universal Liquid Model).
A representative sample of the test item is dispersed at an adequate concentration in a suitable liquid, is passed through the beam of a monochromatic light source, a laser. The light scattered by the particles at various angles is measured by a multi-element detector and numerical, values relating to the scattering pattern are then recorded for subsequent analysis. These numerical scattering values are then transformed, using an appropriate optical model and mathematical procedure, to yield the proportion of total volume to a discrete number of size classes forming a volumetric particle size distribution.

Description of the Method


           The particle size analysis test was performed in accordance to a test procedure no.SPO/BF/24/b (ed. 4) based in CIPAC MT 187 using CoulterLS 13 320 with ULM (Universal Liquid Model).


A representative sample of the test item is dispersed at an adequate concentration in a suitable liquid, is passed through the beam of a monochromatic light source, a laser. The light scattered by the particles at various angles is measured by a multi-element detector and numerical, values relating to the scattering pattern are then recorded for subsequent analysis. These numerical scattering values are then transformed, using an appropriate optical model and mathematical procedure, to yield the proportion of total volume to a discrete number of size classes forming a volumetric particle size distribution.
