A distribution, not a single size
D10, D50 and D90 describe percentile diameters under a stated measurement method. The distribution basis and preparation method must accompany the values for a meaningful comparison.
TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE
Understanding D10, D50 and D90
Use measured particle distributions to refine process fit and batch requirements.
Why the upper tail matters
Large particles can affect screens, nozzles and thin-film appearance. Compare the upper part of the distribution with process limits instead of relying only on D50.
Request useful data
Identify the model and application, ask for the measurement method and agreed batch criteria, and keep the report with the approved sample. A printed size range must not be substituted for measured D-values.
