Automating the Krumbein and Sloss chart using Flow Image Microscopy

Particle Measurement Technologies.  How are they different? What is the Krumbien / Sloss Chart? An established geologist, William Christian Krumbein (1902–1979) was known to chase innovative methods in Geology, making great use of mathematics. The Krumbein Medal of the International Association for Mathematical Geology (IAMG) award was named after him. This award was [...]

How Particle Shape Analysis Compliments Size Measurements

Particle size reduction is a routine method of increasing surface area and making downstream processing more efficient. It is well documented that particle size distribution (PSD) affects powder flowability. However, studies have demonstrated the limitations of particle size analysis – particularly in applications with irregular particles. Ignoring particle shape can lead to significant under-estimation of the mean particle size which leads to errors in PSD results.
