BS EN 725 is a European standard on advanced technical ceramics that discusses the methods of test for ceramic powders.
BS EN 725-5 is the fifth part of a multi-part series that describes the preparation of suspensions and calibration of apparatus, prior to the measurement of the particle size distribution of powders used for advanced technical ceramics.
The preparation described is appropriate for measurements either by the sedimentation method or the laser light scattering method.
BS EN 725-5 on determining particle size distribution in ceramic powders is useful for:
Determining particle size can be imperative in various applications and need to be standardized. Standardization can assure high levels of uniformity and credibility of the particle size distribution which makes the manufacturing process easier.
BS EN 725-5 guides you regarding the preparation of the suspension, calibration and procedure for determining the particle size distribution in ceramic powders.
BS EN 725-5 also guides in the preparation of a test report from the results for comparison purposes.
