SLATE POWDERS - Fineness Grading

Delabole Slate powders are produced in a wide range of sieve and sub-sieve fineness grades. The standard gradings and their typical particle size analyses are listed in Table 2. Fig. 3 illustrates the typical particle size analyses graphically. Photomicrographs of the coarsest and finest gradings are shown on the technical page in Figures 1 and 2 respectively, and to give an idea of scale the insets show a human hair to the same scale. These illustrations clearly show the wide fineness range of standard gradings which are maintained within narrow commercial limits.
