CALCULATIONS:

The particle size distribution of the test chemical is calculated using the formula:

Total amount of test chemical lost after sieving = Original test chemical taken - Total test chemical retained after sieving

% of test chemical = Test chemical retained after sieving (g)/Total test chemical retained after sieving (g) X 100

Conclusions:
The particle size distribution of test chemical was determined by granulometric analysis with rotap sieve shaker. The particle size distribution was determined to be in the range of 150 micron to 25 micron.
Executive summary:

The particle size of test chemical was determined by using OECD guideline 110 and according to Adapted from IS: 2720 (Part 4)–1985 (Reaffirmed 2006). The particle size distribution of test chemical was determined by granulometric analysis with rotap sieve shaker. The particle size distribution was determined to be in the range of 150 micron to 25 micron.
