Particle size distribution (Granulometry)
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- particle size distribution (granulometry)
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- N/A to 2009-05-08
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Remarks:
- Well documented, scientifically sound study that used appropriate measurement instrumentation. Work performed following cGMP guidelines. Report was reviewed by laboratory Quality Assurance Department.
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- reference to same study
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The particle size was analysed by the Malvern MasterSizer LASER diffracter. This instrument is an ensemble analyser that calculates a volume distribution from the LASER diffraction pattern of a cloud of particles. This raw scatter data is then processed using a complex algorithm and presented on the basis of an equivalent spherical diameter. This instrumentation is approved by ECHA Guidance, 2008 (Chapter R.7a, pg. 148)

No specific standard deviation were identified for the particle distribution data although significant robust data was presented in the laboratory report.
The B.E.T. Surface Area of the test substance sample was determined to be 11.12 m2/g.

Description of key information
One tungsten oxide sample was found to have: D10, D50, and D90 = 3.78, 15.94, and 47.66 µm, respectively. The specific surface area of the test substance sample (as determined by B.E.T.) was found to be 11.12 m2/g. The GM aerodynamic fiber diameter for WO2.81, WO2.66 and WO2.51 were found to be >2.1 and <3.1µm for a different sample of tungsten oxide.
