Results

The particle size distribution was determined using the laser diffraction method with dry dispersion . The particle size distribution of the test item was determined in 12 measurements. The instrument detected a bimodal grain size distribution and generated a mean value and size distributions automatically. In Table below, the results of the particle size analysis on the sample labelled as

2MAOK-PW, are reported.

Conclusion

According to test method ISO 13320:2009, the volume mean diameter of sample labelled as 2MAOK-PW is 1.811 µm and its 90%, 50% and 10% cumulative size distributions are 3.19 µm, 1.59 µm and 0.74 µm respectively.
