Particle Size Analyser

The quality of clay can be categorised by chemical as well as physical method. Particle size of clay is a significant parameter in characterization. A complete characterization of clay can be made only with the help of "Particle Size Analyzer".

The department is equipped with particle size analyzer of make "Sympatec GmbH, Germany, capable of measuring particle size from 0.1 microns to 1750 microns in wet mode.
