The new Micromeritics SediGraph® III Plus determines particle size by using the highly accurate and reproducible sedimentation technique which measures the gravity-induced settling rates of different size particles in a liquid with known properties. This is simple yet extremely effective technique for providing particle size information for a wide variety of materials. Applications include Ceramics, Geological/Soil Science, Minerals and Inorganic Chemicals, Abrasives, Pigments, Metal Powders, Construction Materials, Catalysts.
For over three decades, the Micromeritics SediGraph has remained the standard instrument for particle size analysis in many laboratories throughout the world. Whether in a rugged production environment or a controlled laboratory setting, the SediGraph continues to produce accurate results with superior reliability. Particle size distribution is measured using the sedimentation method. Particle mass is measured directly via X-ray absorption. By measuring the rate at which particles fall under gravity through a liquid having known properties as described by Stokes’ law, the SediGraph determines the equivalent spherical diameter of particles ranging from 300 to 0.1 micrometers.
