The main objective of this book is to give guidance to good practice in particle size analysis. Good practice starts with adequate understanding of the relationship between the performance of a particulate product and its particle size distribution. Furthermore, it requires good knowledge of the concepts of particle size and its measurement as well as of the background and error sources of sampling, dispersion and measurement techniques. Note that either sampling or dispersion is more often the major error source rather than the size measurement itself.
