Spray Particle Size Analyzer

M-Kube Enterprise offers spray particle size analyzers to laboratories and manufacturers across India for accurate characterization of spray droplets, aerosols, mists and atomized liquids in pharmaceutical, chemical, agricultural, combustion, materials and research applications. Whether you need a spray droplet size analyzer for nebulizers and nasal sprays, or a laser spray particle size analyzer for nozzle and atomization research, M-Kube can help you select the right configuration.

Spray particle analyzers use laser diffraction to determine the particle-size distribution of droplets or spray particles without physically interfering with the spray. The portfolio includes compact benchtop systems for small spray devices as well as split-type systems with adjustable measurement distances for larger sprays, nozzles and industrial or research test setups.

What Is a Spray Particle Size Analyzer?

A spray particle size analyzer measures the size distribution of droplets or particles produced by a spray, nozzle, atomizer or aerosol-generating device.

When a laser beam passes through the spray, the droplets scatter the light. The instrument measures the angular distribution and intensity of the scattered light and uses an appropriate scattering/diffraction model to determine the droplet-size distribution. This allows spray particle size analysis to be carried out without collecting the droplets on a physical substrate or interfering directly with the spray pattern.

Spray particle-size analysis can therefore be used to understand:

• Droplet-size distribution
• Fine-droplet fraction
• Coarse-droplet fraction
• D10, D50 and D90
• Spray uniformity
• Atomization behaviour
• Nozzle performance
• Effects of pressure and formulation
• Effects of nozzle design
• Changes in spray characteristics during product development

Our spray systems are suitable for liquid sprays, mist and aerosol-type measurements, with open measurement areas that can be configured according to the test arrangement. Our current spray range includes the Model 311, Model 311PRO, Model 319A, Model 319B and Model 319C.

Key Features

Non-Contact Spray Measurement

Spray particle-size analysis can be performed without physically collecting or interfering with the droplets. This is particularly useful when the spray pattern, atomization process or nozzle operation needs to remain as close as possible to its actual operating condition. M-Kube’s 319 series uses a split-type open structure specifically to provide flexibility in spray testing and integration with different test setups.

Open & Adjustable Test Area

The 319 series provides an open measurement region that allows the optical transmitter and receiver to be positioned around the spray. The published adjustable testing area is 0.1–10 m, allowing the system to accommodate different spray distances and experimental arrangements. This is particularly useful when investigating:

• Spray dispersion at different distances
• Nozzle performance
• Spray pattern development
• Atomization behaviour
• Large spray systems
• Research-scale combustion or propulsion systems

Automatic Optical Alignment

M-Kube’s spray systems incorporate automatic optical-path alignment to simplify setup and help maintain consistent measurement conditions. This is particularly important in open or split optical arrangements where the transmitter and receiver may be positioned separately.

Wide Particle-Size Measurement

The 319 family provides different measurement-range options from 1 up to 2000 µm. The lower limit can be extended to 0.1 µm. This allows the analyzer to be selected according to the expected droplet-size distribution rather than using a single configuration for every spray application.

Rapid Data Acquisition

The Model 319 series specifies a data acquisition rate of ≥2 kHz, allowing rapid changes in spray conditions to be captured during testing. This can be useful for applications involving:

• Pulsed sprays
• Changing nozzle conditions
• Transient atomization
• Spray-pressure studies
• Research into spray dynamics

Lens Protection

Spray measurements can expose optical components to droplets or mist. M-Kube’s spray systems incorporate airflow/gas protection around the optical components to reduce the risk of droplet contamination of the lens during measurement.

Multiple Distribution Models

The software supports different approaches to representing spray particle-size distributions, including:

• Free distribution
• R-R distribution
• Log-normal distribution
• Volume distribution
• Number distribution
• Statistical comparison
• User-defined analysis parameters

This allows the measurement results to be presented according to the requirements of different industries and test methods.

Large-Range Spray & Atomization Analysis – Model 319 Series

The Model 319 family is designed for applications where the spray geometry, measurement distance or droplet-size range requires a more flexible test arrangement. The split-type construction separates the transmitting and receiving optical assemblies, creating an open measurement region around the spray.
