Six Errors in Particle Analysis and How to Avoid Them
Fig.6: Difference between number- and mass-based distribution using the example of four different grinding ball sizes. In the volume- or mass-related distribution (p3), all fractions are present in equal proportions at 25%. Since the number decreases with increasing particle size, the number-related proportions (p0) are higher in those of the small grinding balls.
