Particle Size: Measurement, Interpretation, and Application

Description

New York: Wiley, 1963 – 165 p.Having gone through the process of equipping a laboratory with all the necessary tools for measuring particle size, it became clear to us th a t no single reference work existed which would give an analyst a simple choice of the preferred technique for particle size measurement of a specific material. The present book was written to fulfill this need, as well as to aid in the interpretation of the results.The subject matter of this book is inclusive and simplified to allow the novice to become familiar with the techniques, interpretation, and utility of particle sizing within a reasonable amount of time, yet simplification is not made a t the expense of a rigorous treatment.Contents:Preface;1 Applications of Partide Size Distribution Measurements ;2 Definitions;3 Methods of Data Presentation;4 Distribution Functions Applicable to Particle Size Distributions;5 Sedimentation Techniques;6 Microscopy;7 Sieving;8 Miscellaneous Techniques;9 Comparison of Particle Size Distribution Data from;10 Procedure for Choosing the Appropriate Method of Particle Size Measurement;Index.
