When people hear the term “particle size analyzer,” many will surely wonder what kind of instrument it is, what it’s used for, and why it matters in industry. If you’ve been wondering about this too, we’ve found the answers for you. Scroll down to read on!
Getting to Know the Particle Size Analyzer
Many people are probably not very familiar with particle size analyzers, so let’s take a closer look at this instrument to make sure everyone is on the same page.
A particle size analyzer is an instrument made to analyze the size of particles. It uses the principle of laser light diffraction: laser light is passed through particles suspended in a transparent liquid medium with a known refractive index, allowing the particle size to be measured.
The sample particles, by contrast, scatter light at their surfaces. When light passes through a suspension of sample particles, light scattering occurs. The light scattered by the particles has an intensity pattern that varies with angle depending on particle size: smaller particles diffract light at wider angles than larger particles.
This instrument is very popular in industrial plants because it helps solve problems, makes production more efficient, improves product quality, and shortens production time.
How to Choose a Particle Size Analyzer
Now that we’ve covered how this instrument works and what it offers, let’s get to the most important part: how to choose a particle size analyzer and what criteria a good one should meet. If you don’t want to end up with an analyzer that fails to meet international standards, read on!
- A reliable company
This factor is extremely important. Although there are many companies manufacturing and distributing particle analyzers on the market today, wouldn’t it be better to buy your particle size analyzer from an expert company with a long track record? Remember, a company’s reliability can be measured by its reputation and how long it has been in business. - After-sales service
There are many providers of high-performance particle size analyzers in Thailand today, but how can you be sure you won’t face the hassle of chasing technicians for repairs after you start using it? Wouldn’t it be better to choose a company that offers after-sales service? At the very least, when problems arise, you can call on experts to take care of and repair your instrument. - An expert installation team
With so many standard-compliant particle analyzer providers in Thailand, wouldn’t it be better to give yourself peace of mind regarding installation, instrument quality, and design with an expert installation team, so every cost and investment delivers the best value? - Standard-compliant instruments
The three points above are the best indicators when buying a particle analyzer, but don’t forget that the quality of the instrument itself is just as important. When choosing an instrument to measure particle size, we strongly recommend one that meets standards and is certified to international standards. No matter how good the after-sales service is, nobody wants the hassle of frequently sending a substandard instrument for repair.
And that’s our useful information for today. As you can see, using a particle size analyzer not only helps you make production more efficient and improve product quality, but also helps shorten production time.
