Particle size analysis is a critical process in various industries, from pharmaceuticals to materials science.
It helps determine the size distribution of particles in a sample, which can significantly impact the properties and performance of the material.
There are several types of equipment used for particle size analysis, each with its own unique capabilities and applications.
4 Key Tools for Particle Size Analysis: A Comprehensive Guide
Dynamic Light Scattering Analyzers
Dynamic light scattering analyzers are essential for measuring particles in solutions.
They can analyze particles within the range of 0.6 nm to 6 µm.
These analyzers work by analyzing the motion of particles in a solution to determine their size.
Laser Particle Analyzers
Laser particle analyzers are used for particles in a material within the range of 10 nm to 3 mm.
These analyzers use laser diffraction to measure the size of particles.
They are particularly useful for larger particle sizes.
Test Sieve Shakers
Test sieve shakers are commonly used for particle size analysis.
They help promote particle movement through a stack of sieves, allowing for accurate particle separation.
The particles are retained on the sieves based on their size, providing insight into the average particle size of the sample.
Types of Test Sieve Shakers
There are different types of test sieve shakers available.
The Hosokawa Air Jet Sieve is an economical shaker that is compact and portable, making it ideal for small test sizes.
The Ro-Tap is designed for testing multiple particle samples and provides important information about particle size and other properties.
