How the dispersion unit works
The dispersion unit looks like this:
The dispersion unit comprises two main units:
The dispersant is injected into the cell via the dispersant inlet port using a syringe
measured is added to the well
the sample does not settle out and continually circulates the sample through the
cell
Within the cell, the dispersant and sample flow between two glass windows
windows are precisely mounted within the measurement zone of the optical bench
where a laser
within the sample scatter the laser light. This scattered laser light is measured by
the optical bench and used to calculate the particle size distribution of the sample.
