Particle Size Determination by Laser Diffraction Method

LASER Diffraction is also known as edge diffraction. Refraction in the form of a light change angle in the journey through the particle. When the process of particle size is under process, without the need to stop the manufacturing process, the LASER can be measured by diffraction techniques. Because of its having broad range it is a broadly used technique of particle sizing for materials that range from hundreds of nanometers to several millimeters.

Here is mention some advantages and disadvantages of laser diffraction method in particle size analysis let’s check it.

Advantages of Laser Diffraction method in Particle Sizing

• The Method is consistent.
• Time-saving method.
• Simple operation.
• Wide test range.
• Results are accurate and reproducible.
• The dry test is available.

Disadvantages of Laser Diffraction method in Particle Sizing

• Test results are dependence to distribution pattern.
• Cost of the instrument is high.
