ISO/CD TS 5973.2

Abstract

This Technical Specification advises users on how to decide if laser diffraction is the most appropriate method for analysis of their samples, to prepare samples appropriately, to verify proper functioning of their instrument, to interpret their data, and to assess data quality. This Technical Specification focuses on the practical steps required to obtain results of good quality, rather than on theoretical considerations, and covers not only the measurement of solid particles, but also emulsions and bubbles. Result variation expectations of real samples will also be considered.
