3、pliance with desired particle specifications for some time. Greateremphasis is now being placed on inter- and intralaboratory correlation of all particle measurementsystems.To ensure a better understanding of the comparison of testing results from particle measurementsystems, terminology relating to

4、 the measurements must be clearly defined and documented so thatboth the recipient and generator of the data are in full agreement as to the meaning of the data. Everyeffort has been made here to ensure accuracy, precision, and clarity for the terms included in thisterminology document. For Committe

5、e E29, this is an ongoing process with new terms beingdeveloped and defined for future inclusion. Suggestions and comments for additions, corrections, andrevisions are welcomed.1. Scope1.1 This terminology covers the definitions of terms used inthe description and procedures of analysis of particula

6、tematerials not ordinarily analyzed using test sieves. The termsrelate directly to the equipment used in analysis, the physicalforms of the materials to be analyzed, and selected descriptivedata reduction and analysis formats.1.2 Committee E29 on Particle and Spray Characterizationbelieves that it i

Significance and Use2.1 Interpretation and use of data generated by particlecharacterization methods is highly dependent on the definitionsof terms describing that data. It is extremely important thatthose terms be defined in pre

10、 differences and similari-ties in the data can be interpreted in relation to those principles.That understanding can help to avoid disagreements when datafrom different characterization methods are compared.2.3 The definitions contained in this terminology will aid inthe interpretation of particle c
