FPS course Particle Size Measurement

Category: Short in-company course
Software: A simple expert system for the selection of the method for particle size measurement

Suggested Programme

  1. Introduction to the course, properties of particulate materials, importance of sampling, particle populations, distributions of size, shape and density, dispersion of powders
  2. Particle size in quality control, control charts, microscopy (optical and electron) and image analysis
