ICUMSA Method GS1-25 (2026)
Material: White Sugar, Raw Sugar, Plantation White Sugar
Analytes: Particle size distribution
Method Technique: Sieving, Gravimetry
Abstract:
The particle size distribution of raw sugar is determined by sieving. A stack of woven wire sieves with differing pore sizes is used to separate the sugar crystals by size. Each fraction is then weighed to determine the size distribution and from this the mean aperture (MA) and coefficient of variation (CV) can be calculated. This method has Tentative Status and there are no precision data available.
