Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The particle size analysis was conducted using the small volume (wet) module (SVM) with kerosene as the dispersant gave an MMAD of 194.631 µm. The volume of sample < 10.00 µm was 1.83 %

Executive summary:

The particle size analysis was conducted using the small volume (wet) module (SVM) with kerosene as the dispersant.
