The analysis of Coulter counter data

Abstract

Two new methods of analysing Coulter counter data to give cumulative volume fraction against particle dimension relations are described and discussed together with two previous methods. It is shown that, within the experimental errors possible, there would be no significant difference between the result obtained from the different methods unless reliable mean values are obtained from a large number of runs. In that case one of the new methods would provide a better approximation to the true particle size distribution.
