This instrument is installed in 2021 at CRF. This instrument is useful for cement & building material industries, Geology-Mining-Mineral sectors, chemical-petrochemical-hydrocarbon industries, pharmaceuticals & cosmetics industries, food & beverage sectors, etc., and researchers from different fields. Both wet and dry modes of analysis are available.
The key features of PSA includes:
• Particle size measuring range: 0.1 μm to 2500 μm (for dry sample) and 0.04 μm to 2500 μm (for wet sample)
• Dry dispersion: Venturi / free fall
• Liquid dispersion: 2 peristaltic pumps / ultrasonic transducer / stirrer
• Number of Laser: 3 (Laser safety classification - FDA Title 21 CFR - Part 1040 & EN 60825-1:2014; Laser class, closed cover-Class 1 of EN 60825-1:2014; Laser class, open cover-Class 3R of EN 60825-1:2014)
