Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
January 02nd, 2018
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: CIPAC MT 59, “Dry Sieve test”
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:

Determination of particle size distribution

Sieve Size (µm) Weight of Test Item (g) Material Passed Through Sieve Residue (Rx) % 
dx, g Percentage ( %)
750 10.0007 9.8587 98.58 1.42
500 10.0015 9.6062 96.05 3.95
420 10.0074 7.2525 72.47 27.53
250 10.0181 7.1809 71.68 28.32
75 10.0034 0.3626 3.62 96.38
Conclusions:
D50: 75 - 250 µm
Executive summary:

The dry sieve test of test item was determined as per CIPAC MT 59, “Dry Sieve test”. The dry sieve test with the test item was carried out in single replicate. The sieve with 75 µm size retained ≥ 90 % of the particles; the sieve with 750 µm size, retained ≤ 10 % of the particles.

Conclusion

D50: 75 - 250 µm

Description of key information
