Ladal Pipette Centrifuge

Figure 3.18 shows the particle size distribution, by mass, of the solids used in the tests (chalk), as obtained with the Ladal Pipette Centrifuge and the Andreasen Pipette Method. As can be seen from the log-probability plot, the distribution is very nearly log-normal and thus suitable for testing the performance of the hydrocyclone. Furthermore, the medium size of the chalk (3.9 microns) is within the range of cut sizes expected from the hydrocyclone (2 to 4 microns) which is a requirement for effective separator testing.
