Particle size analyzer.


An at-line particle size Particle size, also called grain size, refers to the diameter of individual grains of sediment, or the lithified particles in clastic rocks. The term may also be applied to other granular materials.  analyzer package is available for dry powder Dry Powder

A slang term for cash reserves kept on hand to cover future obligations.

At her festivals, the Opiconsivia and the Opalia, held in August and December, respectively, she was worshiped as a goddess of sowing  is designed to enable powder processors to make automated measurements close to the process line. The at-line approach, using a rugged industrial particle size analyzer capable of measuring large sample volumes at relatively high concentration and throughput, is said to offer users taking manual measurements the benefits of robust on-line technology. The package is based on the company's Insitec Voyager, a self-contained plug and play device for on-line particle size analysis that can be moved around a plant for use on different process lines or to sample at various points in the same line. The at-line system uses the same Insitec technology, but does not require dedicated sample ports. Instead, there is a pneumatic pneumatic /pneu·mat·ic/ (noo-mat´ik)
