- Given a polydisperse solid-liquid system, two fundamental principles are operative in the determination of subsieve particle size distributions by sedimentation methods. (1) Stokes' law as applied to gravitational or centrifugal sedimentation gives a continuous scale of measurement for subsieve particle sizes. Inherent in its derivation are a number of assumptions. Therefore, an evaluation is made of the limitations within which sedimentation methods yield valid results. (2) The cumulative settling law applies directly to the distribution of sizes and permits a classification of gravity methods into cumulative, accurate incremental and approximate measurements. The resulting distributions are thus established for the simplest type of sedimentation, which in turn has been extensively investigated.
