Full Description

This document defines terms that are relevant to the characterization of particles and particulate systems. This document includes such fields as the representation of results of particle size analysis, the descriptive and quantitative representation of particle shape and morphology, sample preparation, specific surface area and porosity characterization and such measurement methods as sedimentation, classification, acoustic methods, laser diffraction, dynamic light scattering, single particle light interaction methods, differential electrical mobility analysis, image analysis and others in a size scale from nanometre to millimetre.
