Laser diffraction, has been known as a laboratory particle size measurement technique since the 1960s. The size analysis is based on the
intensity distribution measurement of coherent laser light scattered by particles. When the laser beam interacts with particles, their size
distribution can be calculated from the scattered light distribution based on Mie theory. Mineral processing plant slurry sample is diluted
to 0.1 to 0.5% ww solids content to pass through the laser beam.
Advanced technology
Primary sampler extracts
50 - 120 l/min primary sample
from the process stream.
Representative sample is essential
for dependable size analysis.
The primary sampler is selected
from a range of proven designs to
suit process characteristics. One
PSI 500i analyzer can measure
samples from 1-3 sampling points.
Optional demagnetizer/dispersion
unit for magnetite minerals
Larger primary sample flow rates in
long sample lines can be used with
optional adjustable sample divider
Diluter unit reduces sample
solids content to 0.1 - 0.5%
level so that laser beam can
penetrate the diluted sample.
