LOINC display name : Mean particle diameter (Feed) [Length];
LOINC long common name : Mean diameter [Length] of Feed particles;
LOINC short name : Mean diameter Feed particles;
LOINC description : The mean diameter of individual particles in a feed specimen (referred to as the fineness
of grind). The desired feed particle size is about 700 microns. Particle size may
be determined by passing the feed through a series of sieves with progressively smaller
openings. The amount of feed in each sieve is used as an indication of acceptable
feed grind. Particle size analysis, particle size measurement, or simply particle
sizing is the collective name of the technical procedures used to determine the size
range, and/or the average mean size of the particles in a powder or liquid sample.
Specimen types include various animal food sources (e.g. corn stalks, hay, soybean,
clove, grass).;
