Introduction
An image particle analyzer evaluates both particle size and shape using digital imaging technology. It is widely used in material science, metallurgy, and pharmaceutical research. The system provides detailed morphological analysis, helping understand particle structure beyond size distribution alone.
Standards
ISO 13320:2020-Particle size analysis-Laser diffraction methods
Complies with the above standards, but is not limited to them.
Features
1. Image particle shape and size analyzer combining optical microscopy with high-speed imaging.
2. CMOS and CCD camera systems provide high-resolution particle imaging.
3. Advanced software measures particle size distribution and shape parameters.
4. Suitable for powders, granules, fibres and other particulate materials.
5. Digital analysis delivers repeatable results with recorded images for reporting.
FAQ
Q1: What is the image particle shape and size analyzer mainly used for?
A: It is used in quality control and research to measure the size distribution and shape of particles in powders, granules, fibres and suspensions. Industries include pharmaceuticals, ceramics, metals, foods and construction materials where particle characteristics affect product performance.
Q2: What standards does the analyzer comply with?
A: The instrument follows applicable ISO standards for particle size analysis by image analysis methods and relevant GB/T standards for particle characterisation. Sample preparation and measurement should follow the standard method. Compliance documentation can be provided on request.
Q3: What is the warranty period for the analyzer and key components?
A: The complete unit carries a 12-month warranty covering the camera system, optics and controller. Sample cells, calibration standards and accessories are excluded. Damage from improper handling or unauthorised repair is not covered.
Q4: Is the analyzer difficult to operate?
A: Operation requires basic training in sample preparation, instrument setup and software use. The manual explains calibration and measurement procedures, and remote guidance is available. Proper dispersion of the sample is important for representative results.
Q5: What is the typical lead time for order delivery?
A: Standard models require 7-30 working days. In-stock units can ship within 3-7 working days. Custom configurations or large built-to-order systems may require additional time, and we confirm the exact schedule before order confirmation.
Q6: Does the analyzer require calibration or verification?
A: The instrument should be verified periodically with calibrated reference particles, typically every 6 to 12 months. The unit is factory calibrated before delivery. Optional calibration service can be arranged.
Q7: Are consumables or spare parts universal?
A: Sample cells, cuvettes and standard spare parts are available through our channel. No proprietary consumables are required. Provide the model and serial number when ordering.
Q8: Can the analyzer be customised?
A: Yes, options include different camera resolutions, software modules, sample feeding systems and report formats. We confirm each option before order confirmation.
Q9: Is installation and commissioning included?
A: The unit is commissioned by following the manual, including software installation, camera alignment and a test run. Remote guidance is available during commissioning. On-site installation and training can be arranged.
Q10: What materials should not be analysed in this instrument?
A: Corrosive, toxic or radioactive materials require special handling and containment. Very fine, explosive or moisture-sensitive powders need appropriate preparation. Follow laboratory safety regulations.
