particle size distribution of the sample. There are very few applications where a 
single value is appropriate and representative. The modern particle scientist often 
chooses to describe the entire size distribution as opposed to just a single point on it. 
(One exception might be extremely narrow distributions such as latex size standards 
where the width is negligible.) Almost all real world samples exist as a distribution 
of particle sizes and it is recommended to report the width of the distribution for any 
sample analyzed. The most appropriate option for expressing width is dependent 
on the technique used. When in doubt, it is often wise to refer to industry accepted 
standards such as ISO or ASTM in order to conform to common practice.

PARTICLES 
1, 2 AND 3µm IN SIZE
Calculations show percent by 
volume and number for each size 
range.
D = 1µm
VOLUME = 0.52µm
% BY VOLUME = 0.52/18.8 = 2.8%
D = 2µm
VOLUME = 4.2µm
% BY VOLUME = 4.2/18.8 = 22%
D = 3µm
VOLUME = 14.1µm
% BY VOLUME = 14.1/18.8 = 75%
TOTAL VOLUME 
0.52 + 4.2 + 14.1 = 18.8µm

Interpreting results of a particle size measurement requires an under-
standing of which technique was used and the basis of the calculations. 
Each technique generates a different result since each measures different 
physical properties of the sample. Once the physical property is measured a 
calculation of some type generates a representation of a particle size distribution. 
Some techniques report only a central point and spread of the distribution, others 
provide greater detail across the upper and lower particle size detected. The particle 
size distribution can be calculated based on several models: most often as a number 
or volume/mass distribution.
