Abstract
The objectives of this test are:
-
1.
Measure the distribution of sizes of particles in a ceramic raw material from its largest size DL ≈ 6700 lim (6.7 mm) to its smallest size D, ≈ 0.010 \μm. Unfortunately there is no single apparatus which is capable of measuring this range of sizes, common in the classical ceramic industry. Consequently, it may be necessary to combine the results from a sieve analysis, one or more of several particle size analyzers, and/or a surface area analyzer.
-
2.
Convert the results from any of these analyses to a single data file for a numerical quantification in terms of Equation 4-5 as the distribution modulus n, the largest particle size DL, and the smallest particle size Ds.
