Significance
The Significance of Particle Shape Investigating raw materials for particle size distribution is a very common practice in many industries. Particle size measures have become the standard inspection criteria for incoming materials, and outgoing products that we all use every day. Particle size is the main way powders and other granular materials are quantized. But, [...]
Particle Characterization
Basics of Particle Characterization Size and shape are the attributes that most affect the behavior of particulate substances. Spherical beads are easily characterized by a single size measure – diameter. More irregular shapes are more difficult to characterize, but for powders used in manufacturing it is necessary to find a small set of numbers that [...]

Custom Engineering
Instrument installations sometimes require customization to adapt to the needs of user’s processes. Typical requests include adapting our Particle Insight to an on-line process, or to develop custom sample cells needed for specific applications, or new software features to meet the needs of users and market needs. In some cases, these custom engineering projects become [...]
PARTICLE SHAPE APPLICATION EXAMPLE: Ocean Sediments
The challenge Ocean floor sediments are studied by marine scientists. They are composed of fine particles of sand, clay, volcanic ash, minerals and organics. The small grain size makes measurement a challenge. Two different kinds of sediment were studied for this example. Applicable measures Measure Equivalent Circular Area Diameter Equivalent Elliptical Area Width Equivalent Elliptical [...]
PARTICLE SHAPE APPLICATION EXAMPLE: Portland Cement
The challenge Portland cement is a controlled chemical combination of calcium, silicon, aluminum, iron and small amounts of other ingredients to which gypsum is added in the final grinding process to regulate the setting time. Lime and silica make up about 85% of the mass. Common among the materials used in its manufacture are limestone, [...]
