Particle size

Particle size refers to the measurement of how big or small individual particles are within a material. It’s typically expressed in units like micrometers or millimeters. The size affects how particles behave—smaller particles generally move more easily, pack more densely, or interact differently with other materials, while larger particles may settle more quickly or influence the texture and flow. Understanding particle size is important in fields like pharmaceuticals, construction, and manufacturing, as it impacts quality, performance, and processing of various products.
