Each method covers a characteristic size range within which measurement is possible and which partly overlap. The three methods discussed in this white paper, for example, all measure particles in a range from 1 µm to 5 mm. However, the results for measuring the same sample can vary considerably.
This article will help to interpret the informative value and significance of particle analysis results and to decide which method is best suited for a particular application. The analyzers used for the measurements presented in this article are sieve shakers (Retsch), image analysis systems CAMSIZER® P4 and CAMSIZER® X2 (Retsch Technology) and the laser diffraction analyzer Horiba LA-960.
