What is Particle Size and Particle Size Distribution?

A particle's size is commonly expressed in terms of millimeters, micrometers, or nanometers. The most commonly used parameter to describe particle size is particle diameter. The particle size distribution describes how particle sizes are distributed in a particle population, such as a bag of flour or a pile of sand. Particle size distribution is expressed as the percentage of particles of a specific size or within a certain size range. Both particle size and distribution are primary parameters to characterize particles. Laser diffraction is the most widely used method for measuring particle size distribution, yielding a distribution based on the volume percentage of particles, i.e., volume distribution.

Bettersize Instruments is a well-known supplier of particle size measurement equipment, also referred to as "particle size analyzers". We provide a variety of instruments and methods to address various application challenges, whether for quality control or research and development.

Importance of Particle Sizing：

Particle sizing is a fundamental and critical process in the manufacturing, application, and research of powder materials. The particle size is critical in determining cement hydration time when water is added, coating attaching strength and coverage, lithium battery capacity, drug decomposition rate, filtering efficiency, magnetic permeability and coercivity of magnetic materials, efficiency and residual of pesticides, atmosphere and environmental pollution, and so on. Because particle size analyzers play such an important role in fields mentioned above, they are widely used and well-liked by customers and users.
