Granularity

Granulometry is the measurement of particle size.

The granulometric analysis of a material consists in measuring the size and determining the morphology of the granules that make up the material.

Granulometric analysis can be performed by several types of instruments, chosen according to the objective and the particle size fineness to be measured.

Laser light diffraction instruments determine granulometry in terms of PSD (Particle Size Distribution).
