Typical Particle Count Distribution Curves

Printable Version

What are some typical particle distributions for particle counters?

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.

Learn more by using our Particle Size Distribitution calculator for liquid particle counters. This tool is useful for the HSLS M50 or M65e particle counter, the Ultra DI 50 particle counter, the Liquistat particle counter, or the LiQuilaz particle counter.
