Particle Insight Raptor Compliance to D7596-14 Particle Test Method for Shape Classification of Oils The ASTM D7596-14 (ASTM, 2018) was designed as a guide for the determination of particle concentration, particle size distribution, particle shape, and soot content for new and in service oils used for lubrication and hydraulic systems using a direct imaging integrated [...]
Size and shape are measures that greatly determine particulate behavior such as flowability, compaction, and mixing. Spherical particles are adequately characterized by size-only techniques. However, irregular particles require additional shape measurements to best characterize them and understand how your particles will perform. Highly irregular shaped particles are hard to characterize, but for raw material particles in [...]
Lost Circulation Material (LCM) is an additive introduced to drilling fluid that can come in all different shapes and sizes. It is well understood that irregular particles have greater thickening and strength properties. As a result, analyzing size alone for selection of LCM materials would not be ideal. In this case, shape measurements such [...]
