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.
