PARTICLE SIZE DETERMINATION USING A LASER LIGHT TRANSMISSION TECHNIQUE

Abstract

A light transmission technique was used to measure the mean size of a group of graphite particles suspended in water and the particle sizes in an aerosol of ammonium chloride in air. Passage of a single red laser beam through a known concentration of graphite particles in water made it possible to obtain a measure of their mean size. Laser beams of two different wavelengths were used for the measurement of a suspension of unknown particle size and concentration.
