摘要：

The bulk volume of the particles needed to form a single layer on an area of fixed size is proportional to their average particle size. This observation provides the basis for a simple and rapid method for the measurement of the average particle size of particulate solids in the sieve range. A measurement requires less than three minutes. The apparatus consists of a modified glass funnel attached to a graduated tube and a supply of adhesive coated paper. This method was developed for the analysis of the radioactive particulate solids produced by the Waste Calciner Facility at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant. A method for these particles, which are roughly spherical in shape and 100- to 1000-μ diameter must be adaptable to remote use and use a small sample. The method developed meets these requirements. It also is useful for nonradioactive and non-spherical particles. © 1969, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
