Roundtable on Particle Specifications

The purpose of this roundtable is:

1. Compare particle and bulk specifications and considerations across different industries
2. Discuss how particle specifications are set
3. Discuss methods for measuring and setting particle specifications
4. Potential discussion topics
   1. Which approaches do you find most valuable for setting physical property specifications for your materials? 
      1. Statistical approaches based on batch history? +/- 3-sigma, etc
      2. Fundamental or empirical models? DEM, population balance, etc
      3. Standard reference texts?  Perry’s Handbook, etc
      4. Other?
   2. Do you prefer one-sided vs. two-sided specs? 
      1. Such as “Not more than 0.5 cc/g” vs. “D(4,3) of X to Y µm”
   3. Success stories and case studies would be most welcome
5. Expected outcomes include:
   1. Better understanding of specifications methods and goals of specifications
   2. Information for project brief for the upcoming AGM
   3. Best Practices used in different industries

Company presentations are attached below.
