The Construction Research Center (CRC) of the National Research Council Canada (NRC) requires a particle size analyzer that characterizes dry powder materials in terms of particle size and distribution. NRC currently owns a particle size analyzer and has been using it for over 15 years to characterize dry powders and other fine materials as part of a wider research program into the analysis of cementitious materials. The instrument has now aged beyond any service provided by the manufacturer and, in the event of failure, will not be repairable. NRC has used this instrument for many years to characterize numerous dry powders and wet emulsions as part of a materials research program supporting the Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program, as well as other programs of the NRC-CRC.
