Particle Analysis and Testing

Intertek laboratories provide particles analytical measurement  for particle size, particle size distribution, surface area measurement and related particle testing capabilities and expertise on a global basis.

Particle sizing, distribution and chemical analysis by Intertek helps assess material processability. Attrition, coagulation and other processes can be followed to ensure that products are within specification. Particle analysis gives confidence to results of trials aimed at monitoring process changes, and allows product specifications to be assigned to achieve correct technical performance.

Chemical Identification and Characterisation of Particles:

• Particle Chemical Analysis

Particle Size Testing:

• Intertek scientists characterize particle size distribution for powders, liquids and slurried materials. Particle size is important for evaluation of catalytic materials such as Fluidized Catalytic Cracking (FCC) and other slurry-type catalyst.
• Particle Size Testing includes:
  • Particle Size Analysis
  • Particle Size Distribution
  • Surface Area Analysis

Particle Surface Area Analysis:

• Particle surface area measurements are useful for catalyst and adsorbent materials such as molecular sieves. Intertek provides the determination of total surface area and pore size distributions for a wide variety of solid samples. Algorithms are available for isotherm data analysis, including the Langmuir and BET models.
• Particle surface area testing includes:
  • BET Surface Area
  • Correlation Coefficient
  • Micropore Surface Area
  • Micropore Volume
  • Adsorption Pore Size Distribution
  • Total Pore Volume and more

Particle porosity Analysis:

• Particle Pore Volume
• Particle Pore Size Distribution
