The Relation of Fineness to Physical Requirements

JSGT_1940_V24_T166_T175

Fineness is considered in relation to homogeneity, or to the attainment of a desired texture. Relationships are given between the fineness of a material and its void volume, and illustrated by the absorption capacity of a solid suspension as typified by pigment colours. Control of grain size is necessary in many industrial operations, including glassmaking and the manufacture of refractories. Examples are given.
