AbstractThe origins and development of the U100 (U4) thick-walled open-drive sampler are reviewed. The requirements of CP 2001 and BS 5930 are examined in relation to sample quality, and these are shown to be too favourable. Causes of sample disturbance are considered, particularly those due to volume changes, and shown to depend on moisture content, plasticity and particle size distribution. Quality classes possible with conventional U100 samples are suggested, and Classes 3 or 4 are to be generally expected. Class 1 samples are improbable. It is recommended that a general purpose sampler such as the U100 should have a maximum inside clearance of 1% and not ‘about 1%’ as recommended in BS 5930.

Abstract The gelation process of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) plastisol is very important to ensure the quality of the product and is affected by the type of resins, plasticizers, and other additives. In this study, the gelation process of the as-prepared PVC plastisol was characterized by measuring the evolution of vibrational viscosity with temperature or time using a vibrational viscometer. Furthermore, the effect of some commercial resins with different particulate morphologies on the gelation process was investigated by synchronously combining scanning election microscopy and laser particle size analyses. The results of this study proved that the particle size distribution and the aggregation degree of the secondary particles of a resin are the key factors affecting the gelation process. For the resin with bimodal particle size distribution, the closer the aggregation of the secondary particles, the slower the gel speed; however, an opposite behavior was observed for the resins with unimodal particle size distribution.

Abstract. An important factor in the release of phosphorus by soil erosion, with corresponding consequences on the quality of surface waters, is the formation of aggregates and their stability. Around the eutrophic Lake Hallwil six arable lands were examined in five repetitions regarding aggregate and particle size distribution, P-contents of the different fractions and aggregate stability. Central to this was the use of the setting column for fractionation of soil samples. In the case of Lake Hallwil the risk of phosphorus discharges by soil erosion seems low since the phosphorus is mainly bound in aggregates which are transported over short distances only. Thus other pathways (runoff from grassland, leaching via drains) may be more important.

The article is devoted to the analysis of parameters of medical technological equipment that take into account factors affecting the quality of manufacture of drugs. Factors such as particle size, particle size distribution, particle shape, particle surface properties, particle strength, which, based on the «Web» method, are used to analyze the «vibrosieve» technological equipment, are considered.

Jaw crushers are commonly-used machines in aggregate production. The aim of the research is to present a model which is able to predict particle size distribution in jaw crushers and to provide a new method for effectively controlling the quality of crushed product. The object of study was a domestic PEF 400×600 jaw crusher. A performance model was developed based on the standard mass balance formulation and chamber dividing results. Some important parameters that influence the particle output of the crushers were taken into account in the model. The variations of the particle size distribution resulting from changes in the eccentric shaft rotational speed and the parallel strip length were investigated.

In many branches of industrial production, there is a need for continual monitoring of the quality of manufactured product. Such requirements arise in the production of fertilizers, as the physical and mechanical properties of fertilizers affect the quality of application provided by fertilizer spreaders. The aim of the presented paper was to compare the suitability and applicability of the photo-optical image analysis with the sieve analysis used for the determination of fertilizer particle size distribution. The photo-optical method was used by [1] to study the fertilizer particle size distribution. These researchers tried to measure the size and velocity of flying particles in relation to the quality of application of centrifugal spreaders. During our comparative experiments, we have compared the photo-optical image analysis and sieve analysis. In experiments, we used the samples of the granulated fertilizer NMgS produced by the Duslo, a.s. company. The sieve analysis was conducted according to the national standard STN EN 1235 in the laboratories of the Department of Machines and Production Systems at the Faculty of Engineering, Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra.

Image analysis of rock fragmentation is used in mines and quarries to control the quality of blasting. Obtained information is the particle-size-distribution curve relating volume-proportions to the sizes of fragments. Calculation by image analysis of this particle-size-distribution is carried out in several steps, and each step has its inherent limitations. We will focus in this paper on one of themost crucial steps: reconstructing the volumes (3D). For the 3D-step, we have noticed that, due to the current acquisition method, there is no correlation between the average grey level of surfaces of the fragments and their third dimension. Consequently volumes (3D) as well as the sizes (1D) has to be calculated indirectly from the extracted projected areas of the visible fragments of images. For this purpose, we have built in laboratory a set of images of fragmented rocks resulting from blasting. Moreover, several tests based on comparisons between image analysis and screening measurements were carried out. A new stereological method, based on the comparison of the densities of probability (histograms) of the samemeasurements (with very weak covering and overlapping)was elaborated. It allows us to estimate correctly, for a given type of rock, two intrinsic laws weighing the projected areas distribution in order to predict the volumic distribution.
