Determination of the Particle Size Distribution of Powders by Means of a Photosedimentograph,

Abstract

A method is described for determining the particle size distribution (1 - 40 micrometers) of small powdered samples (5 - 30 mg). The measurement is carried out with a photosedimentograph consisting of a Leitz-sedimentometer, a light source of constant intensity, a commercial recorder, a thermostat, and some other accessories. The analysis is semi-automatic, and leads to accurate results within only one hour.
