Investigation of the particulate properties of sands with regard to their suitability for concrete production
Sand is an essential raw material for concrete production in the construction industry. One might think that due to the large area of deserts like e.g. Sahara, Gobi, Kalahari etc., sand would be available in unlimited quantities as a raw material. However, this is not the case, as these sands are not suitable for the production of high-quality concrete with the appropriate mechanical properties. In order to prove whether sand is suitable for processing into concrete, a measuring device must be able to determine the particle size distribution exactly over the relevant particle size range and, in addition, to statistically represent the circularity of the grain. The Bettersizer S3 Plus performs both with a combination of laser diffraction and dynamic image analysis in one device.

Quality assessment of abrasive powders – Particle measurements on corundum
Abrasives are hard material particles that are used for the surface treatment of different materials, e.g. metals, ceramics, or polymers. In this process, the material is removed from the surface of the body to be machined by chipping. Abrasives can be used in bonded form, i.e. embedded in carrier materials (abrasive paper, cloth, discs, etc.), or in non-bonded form as powder, paste, or abrasive. Particle measurements can contribute to the evaluation of abrasives. The application note shows how the morphology (particle size distribution and particle shape) can be determined using the example of corundum particles with a unique combination of static laser diffraction and dynamic image analysis. The analysis of the materials with the Bettersizer S3 Plus thus allows statements to be made on the usability and quality of the abrasive.

Particle characterization for additive manufacturing: Analysis of the key parameters particle size and shape using only one instrument
In additive manufacturing, the workpiece properties are significantly influenced by the starting material and its powder properties. However, in the widely used laser beam melting process, the majority of the powder (95-97%) is not melted. For economic and ecological reasons, the question arises whether powder fed into the process but not fused must be discarded or can be reused for production. With the help of the Bettersizer S3 Plus, a significant reference point is provided by the particle size and shape analysis of the fresh powder compared to the non-fused spatter particles.
