Typical Particle Count Distribution Curves

Question
What are some typical particle distributions for particle counters?

Answer

In almost all cases, particle counts should increase as the particle size decreases. Typically, the relationship follows a 1/diameter^k distribution, where k is 2.2-4.3.
