Details: ===================== Proper sieve calibration and accurate geometric measurements are essential requirements for anyone working with particles. Two common methods for particle characterization are sieving and image analysis. While image analysis is the preferred solution for particle shape information, sieving remains an excellent, low-cost tool for particle sizing. To ensure such accuracy, sieves must be regularly calibrated to a traceable standard such as NIST.

Attendees will learn about a cost-effective instrument that can perform both sieve calibration and particle characterization using state-of-the-art optics and digital image analysis. For sieves, hundreds of openings and wire diameters can be scanned and measured in a matter of seconds. For particles, size distributions and shape information such as area, roundness, aspect ratio, and mean diameter can be quickly generated.

Bring your questions to this live, interactive web-based seminar.
