Abstract:

This report presents a method of statistical analysis for particle-size data obtained with the Battelle CI-S-8 impactor. The equations developed in this report give a simplified method for determining the least-squares fit for data represented by a log-normal distribution function. Mathematical equations include 1 computation of the slope and intercept, 2 transformation substitutions, 3 general results, and 4 application to the Battelle impactor. A sample calculation is given in the appendix. Author
