Summary of results

Results quoted are average values

Volume weighted mean: 405.833 μm

Median (d.50): 338.205 μm

Mode: 450.224 μm

MMAD (Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter): 348.368 μm

10 % of material is < 45.981 μm

50 % of material is < 338.205 μm

90 % of material is < 862.898 μm

2.57% by volume of sample was seen to be < 10.00 μm.

Conclusions:
A laser diffraction test was conducted to determine the particle size analysis of the test material. The analysis was carried out using the dry powder module and produced the following results:
Volume weighted mean: 405.833 μm
