It is expressed as the ratio of the average radius of curvature of the edges or corners to the radius of curvature of the maximum inscribed sphere.The sphericity of a particle is: the ratio of the surface area of a sphere (with the same volume as the given particle) to the surface area of the particle. |

UNIQUE SAMPLE |

I was trulyhumbled by this "sand" sample. Most of the particles are much bigger than a real sand grain. Each grain was a work of art! The two pebbles shown to the left and right here were truly unique. The sample to the left is 4 cm across at its widest point. The sample to the right is 3.5 cm across at its widest point. I did my best to show them at their very best. |
