IMPROVEMENTS TO A CLASSIC TECHNIQUE SediGraph® III PLUS Particle Size Analyzer Proven Technique and Reliability For over four decades, the Micromeritics SediGraph has remained the standard instrument for particle size analysis in many laboratories throughout the world. Whether in a rugged production environment or a controlled laboratory setting, the SediGraph continues to produce accurate results with superior reliability. Particle size distribution is measured using the sedimentation method. Particle mass is measured directly via X-ray absorption. By measuring the rate at which particles...

SPC Reporting and Regression Analyses Statistical Process Control (SPC) reporting provides an easy method for continuously monitoring production processes and reducing response times to deviations from the standard. Regression analyses allow you to determine the relationship between a control parameter, for example, and a measured characteristic of the sample. Select from 26 axis variables including: • Mean • Mode • Median • Size at (percentile) • Standard Deviation • Coefficient of Variation • - N σ Size • + N σ Size Cumulative mass finer versus diameter plot • Skewness and SPC control...

Applications Ceramics: The size range of particles and the distribution of mass in each size class strongly affect the ability to sinter a ceramic powder and it’s forming properties as well as the pore size distribution in the finished product. Particle size distribution information helps to determine curing and bonding procedures, control pore structure, ensure adequate green body strength, and produce a final product of desired strength, texture, appearance, and density. Metal Powders: By controlling particle size, very specific pore characteristics can be designed into a product....
