What Is a Particle Sizer?
A particle sizer, also known as a particle size analyzer, is a device utilized for measuring the size of particles.
Particle sizing is a critical parameter for evaluating the properties and quality of substances. The operating principle varies based on the measurement method, including light transmission, light scattering, and centrifugal separation. Particle sizers have broad applications across industries such as manufacturing, food and pharmaceuticals, and environmental sectors. They play a crucial role in manufacturing processes for quality control of raw materials and products, ensuring the safety and quality of food and pharmaceutical items, and analyzing particle size in environmental substances like soil and water.
The basic structure typically comprises a sample supply device, a measurement device, and a data processing device. The sample supply device delivers particles to the measurement device, where their size is measured. Subsequently, the data processing device processes the obtained measurement results.
