Ceramics
Instruments provided by Bettersize offer particle size analysis for ceramic products during the manufacturing.
In the production of ceramics, the appropriate particle size of the preform body, glaze, pigment and other properties can improve the quality of the products. The changes that can occur in the finished products, especially during sintering, largely depend on the performance of the initial powder, and are greatly related to particle size. The ideal particle size distribution of the preform body can improve the density of the structure and further enhance the strength of the porcelain, and the small particle size of the glaze can enhance the surface smoothness of the porcelain. When the particle size of the preform body and glaze reach the nanometer grade, the porcelain will show toughness, resulting in a wider range of applications of ceramic materials.
In the case of sanitary ware production, the final slip should not be over ground to create too many fines as these will block the pores in the mould, restricting excess water from exiting the mould and thus weakening the formed product when it goes to the furnace for firing.
In the ceramic material production process, particle size distribution, particle shape, powder characteristics, and other properties of preform body, glaze, and pigment can be measured accurately.
