Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
particle size distribution (granulometry)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 110 (Particle Size Distribution / Fibre Length and Diameter Distributions) - Method B: Fibre Length and Diameter Distributions
Version / remarks:
1981
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
A set of 5 sieves (20 cm diameter) was used : 500 µm, 250 µm, 150 µm, 75 µm, 63 µm
A sample of 100 grams was passed in dry conditions through the set of sieves using a light brush. The retained material from each sieve was weighed on an analytical scale.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
sieving
Type of distribution:
other: sieve analysis
