gx:the amount of material retained by the sieve x

rx: ratio * 100 of the amount of material retained by the sieve x and sample mass

Rx: the calculated sum of residues on all the x sieves. Therefore the residue Rx on sieve x and the residues on all coarser sieves were summed.

Conclusions:
Particle size distribution: 250 - 1000 µm
Executive summary:

Particle size distribution of the test item was determined according to the CIPAC MT 59 Sieve Analysis, CIPAC MT 170 Dry Sieve Analysis of Water Dispersible Granules and CIPAC MT 169 Tap Density of Water Dispersible Granules test methods. Machine sieving test was carried out using the following test sieves 4, 2, 1 mm, 500, 250, 100, 63 and 45 µm.

The particle size distribution of the test item was found to be in the range of 250 and 1000 µm.

Conclusion

Particle size distribution: 250 - 1000 µm

Description of key information

Particle size distribution: 250 - 1000 µm
