Applications:

Straight fibers; thick short fibers; crystals; carbon fibers; in general any shape that isn’t circular where a length and width are needed.

Available measures:

  • Bounding Rectangle Width
  • Bounding Rectangle Length
    • BR Width and BR Length are the dimensions of the smallest rectangle (in area) that encloses the particle’s silhouette.
  • Bounding Rectangle Aspect Ratio
    • BRAR is the ratio of Bounding Rectangle Length to Bounding Rectangle Width.
  • Rectangularity
    • Rectangularity = (actual shape area) / (BRL * BRW). This measures how closely the shape resembles a rectangle, with 1.0 representing a perfect rectangle.
