  • ➤Frequency distribution curve

    ➤Cumulative distribution curve


  • Stokes diameter

    Particle diameter calculated from Stokes formula

    Specific surface area diameter

    Particle diameter based on specific surface area

    Mode diameter

    Particle diameter with the largest frequency distribution

    Median diameter

    Particle diameter at which the residual (pass-through) ratio is 0.5





    • アオコ Blue-green algae

      酵母 Yeast

      珪藻土 Diatomaceous earth

    • Residual rate curve (R-curve) and passage rate curve (P-curve)


      フルイに「残留」する分画 Fraction "remaining" in the sieve

      フルイを「通過」する分画 Fraction "passing" through the sieve

    • Residual curves: R-curve


      Percentage of the total amount of particles larger than a certain particle size


      Passage curve: P-curve


      Percentage of the total amount of particles smaller than a certain particle size


      P = 1 - R

    • ➤Frequency distribution curve

      ↓Integration ↑ Differentiation

      ➤Cumulative distribution curve

    • Frequency Distribution Curve


    • Residual rate distribution: R curve


    • Passage rate distribution: P curve (P = 1 - R)


    • ➤Empirical equation for the residual curve


      De :Particle size with a residual of 0.37 (D/De = 1)

      n :The larger this value, the more uniform the particle size.
