10、ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

11、committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of elect

12、rotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the

13、member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for ident

14、ifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 13319 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 24, Sieves, sieving, and other sizing methods, Subcommittee SC 4, Sizing by methods other than sieving. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 13319:2000), which has been technically r

15、evised. BS ISO 13319:20071Determination of particle size distributions Electrical sensing zone method 1 Scope This International Standard gives guidance on the measurement of the size distribution of particles dispersed in an electrolyte solution using the electrical sensing zone method. The method

16、measures pulse heights and their relationship to particle volumes or diameters, and it reports in the range from approximately 0,4 m to approximately 1 200 m. It does not address the specific requirements of the measurement of specific materials. However, guidance on the measurements of conducting m

17、aterials such as porous materials and metal powders is given. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

26、ng wall. A current applied across two electrodes, placed on each side of the aperture, enables the particles to be sensed by the electrical impedance changes as they pass through the aperture. The particle pulses thus generated are amplified and counted, and the pulse height is analysed. After emplo

27、ying a calibration factor, a distribution of the number of particles against the volume-equivalent diameter is obtained. This distribution is usually converted to percentage by mass versus particle size, where the size parameter is expressed as the diameter of a sphere of volume and density equal to

28、 that of the particle. See Figure 1.

30、o be proportional to the particle volume if the particles are spherical1-3.This has also been shown to be true for particles of other shapes; however, the constant of proportionality (i.e. the instruments calibration constant) may be different4. In general, particles should have a low conductivity w

31、ith respect to the electrolyte solution, but particles with high conductivity can be measured e.g. metals5, carbon6, silicon and many types of cells and organisms, such as blood cells7, 8. For porous particles, the response may vary with the porosity9, 10. Recommendations for the measurement of cond

32、ucting particles and porous particles are given in Annex A. As the response is proportional to the volume of particles, the pulse amplitude provides a relative scale of particle volumes. By calibration, this scale may be converted to spherical diameter. The calibration constant based on diameter may

33、 be calculated by Equation (1): p3pddKA= (1) The size, x, of any particle can be calculated by Equation (2): 3dxxK A= (2) 6.2 Size limits The lower size limit of the electrical sensing zone method is generally considered to be restricted only by thermal and electronic noise. It is normally stated to

34、 be about 0,6 m but, under favourable conditions, 0,4 m is possible. There is no theoretical upper size limit, and for particles having a density similar to that of the electrolyte solution, the largest aperture available (normally 2 000 m) may be used. The practical upper size limit is about 1 200

35、m, limited by particle density. In order to increase the possibility of keeping the particles in homogeneous suspension, the viscosity and the density of the electrolyte solution may be increased, for example by addition of glycerol or sucrose. The homogeneity may be checked by repeated analyses at

36、a range of stirrer speeds. The results of this should be compared to establish the lowest speed at which recovery of the largest particles is maintained. The size range for a single aperture is related to the aperture diameter, D. The response has been found to depend linearly in volume on D, within

37、 about 5 % under optimum conditions, over a range from 0,015 D to 0,8 D (i.e. 1,5 m to 80 m for a 100 m aperture) although the aperture may become prone to blockage at particle sizes below the maximum size where the particles are non-spherical. In practice, the limitation of thermal and electronic n

38、oise and the physical limitation of non-spherical particles passing through the aperture usually restricts the operating range to 2 % to 60 % of the aperture size. This size range can be extended by using two or more apertures (see Annex B). In practice, this procedure can be avoided by the careful

39、selection of the diameter of one aperture, to achieve an acceptable range. 6.3 Effect of coincident particle passage Ideal data would result if particles traversed the aperture singly, when each particle would produce a single pulse. When two or more particles arrive in the sensing zone together, th

40、e resulting pulse will be complex. Either a single large pulse will be obtained, resulting in a loss of count and effectively registering a single larger particle, or the count will be correct but the reported size of each will be increased, or some particles will not be counted. These effects will

41、distort the size distribution obtained but can be minimized by using low concentrations. Table 1 shows counts per millilitre for the coincidence probability to be 5 %.

43、d always be less than these quoted values. Since particle size distributions should not be a function of concentration, the effect of coincidence can be tested by obtaining a distribution at one concentration and comparing it with that obtained when the concentration is halved. In such a test, repea

44、t such dilutions until the reduction in count in a channel with the largest number decreases in proportion to the dilution. This should always be done when analysing very narrow size distributions, as this is where the effect of coincidence is most noticeable. 6.4 Dead time In instruments using digi

45、tal pulse processing routines, to analyse the signal it is scanned at high frequency. Information on pulse parameters, such as maximum pulse height, maximum pulse width, mid-pulse height, mid-pulse width and pulse area, is stored for subsequent analysis. In this case, analog-to-digital conversion of

46、 the pulse with storage of the size value for the pulse is not performed in real time and dead time losses are avoided. In instruments in which pulse-height analysis routines are used in real time to process the data, it is possible that the analyser may not count particles for a given time after re

47、ceiving a pulse, since it takes a finite time to process each pulse. Dead time is not a function of pulse height. Therefore, the loss will be proportional to the counts in each channel and will not affect the size distribution. To minimize the effect of dead time, the analyser should be used with th

48、e lower threshold set to exclude thermal and electronic noise, as indicated at A in Figure 2. Additionally, the concentration of particles should be maintained below 5 % coincidence levels. BS ISO 13319:20076 Key X channels Y counts NOTE Counts at channels below A are noise counts. True particle cou

49、nts are at the higher channels. Figure 2 Typical results 7 Repeatability of counts In a correctly performed analysis, the number of counts in a size interval is a random variable which follows a Poisson distribution. In this, the variance is equal to the expected (mean) value. This indicates that the standard deviation of a number of counts, n, with mean, N, approximates to N . Both the variance and the standard deviation can be used in statistical tests on the correctness of instrument operat
