Powder technology is a subject in its own right, and powder
characterization is central to an understanding of this discipline.
In the eight years since the printing of the third edition of
Particle Size Measurement there have been two big changes in my
life. After thirty years of academia I have returned to industry,
and after a lifetime in Great Britain I have emigrated to the
United States. In industry the initial demand is to relate powder
properties to product performance and then to maintain powder
consistency. This requires on-line or rapid off-line analysis
which, in turn, has led to the demand for a whole range of new
instruments whose primary function is process monitoring.
Historically, chemical engineering courses have concentrated on the
be haviour of fluids, and engineers enter industry relatively
unschooled in the subject of powder behaviour . Yet, when my
colleagues Reg Davies and John Boughton surveyed three thousand
Dupont products, they discovered that 80% involved powder at some
stage of their manufacture. The results of this survey illustrate
the need for more training in this key subject. This edition
reflects the changing image of powder characterization towards
in-process size analysis. Hence the chapter covering on-line
analysis has been largely re-written. Apart from this, I have
expanded certain sections and describe the new instruments that
have been introduced since the last edition."
