ASTM International Standard Practice for Determining Data Criteria and Processing for Liquid Drop Size Analysis ASTM E799-03(2020)e1

1.1 This practice gives procedures for determining appropriate sample size, size class widths, characteristic drop sizes, and dispersion measure of drop size distribution. The accuracy of and correction procedures for measurements of drops using particular equipment are not part of this practice. Attention is drawn to the types of sampling (spatial, flux-sensitive, or neither) with a note on conversion required (methods not specified). The data are assumed to be counts by drop size. The drop size is assumed to be the diameter of a sphere of equivalent volume. 1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.3 The analysis applies to all liquid drop distributions except where specific restrictions are stated. 1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
