This study deals with the size measurement of non-spherical or because the particles adopt preferential orientations in the particles by the laser diffraction technique. Size analyses of measurement cell. Further, a way of processing diffraction data three sets of identical metallic bodies (cubes, tablets and is proposed in order to determine two characteristic dimensions cylinders) were performed by means of a Malvern 2600 instru-of identical anisometric particles. It is based on the measurement. The results prove that under the operating conditions ment of the minimum and maximum projected surface areas of chosen and in the case of anisometric objects, the mean total the particles. The experimental results obtained with our parsurface area is not measurable either because the Malvern soft-ticles show the procedure to be reliable. ware, strictly valid for spheres, is not applicable to such particles
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
