Particle characterization laboratory
The particle characterization lab is equipped for grain size, morphologic and densimetric analysis. The available instruments and facilities are: (1) Laser diffraction (CILAS) for grain size analyses on particles with a diameter smaller than 1 mm; (2) Microscopy (Integrated in the laser diffraction instrument) for particle morphology analysis; (3) Sieving for grain size analyses on particles with diameter larger than 32 microns; and (4) Hydrostatic balance for volumetric and densimetric analyses.
