Particle Size Analysis of Ammonium Sulphate and Ammonium Perchlorate Using a Malvern Particle Size Analyser
Abstract
Measurement of the particle size of powders is important for many manufacturing operations. In the field of propellants it is also important since the particle size distribution of the ingredients significnantly affects not only the burning rate but also the sensitivity of the propellant. A method used to measrsue the particle size distribution of ammonium perchlorate and ammonium sulphate, common propellant chemicals, using a low angle light scattering technique is described.
