On April 14-16, 2023, the 16th National Engineering Ceramics Academic Annual Conference, co-sponsored by Materials Branch of Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society, Jiangsu University and Jiangsu Silicate Society, was held in Jurong City, Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, and undertook by Material Research Technology Development (Wuxi) Co., LTD. Academicians and experts from Tsinghua University, Hunan University, Jiangsu University, Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Shanghai Institute for Advanced Studies, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Zhejiang University, Wuhan University of Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, Central South University, Xi 'an Jiaotong University and other universities at home and abroad; In addition, Mi PI Technology (Changzhou) Co., LTD., Beijing Sinoma Intracrystal Research Institute Co., LTD., Hunan Weishang Technology Co., LTD., Guangdong Foshan Jingang Group Enterprise Co., LTD., Pingxiang Longfa Industry Co., LTD., Shandong Guoporcelain Function Co., LTD., Jiangsu Shengman Drying Equipment Engineering Co., LTD., Jiangsu Daojin Intelligent Equipment Co., LTD. And other domestic and foreign enterprises More than 400 delegates attended the meeting to exchange and discuss the industrial development and the latest research results in the field of engineering ceramics and related materials. Zheng Junlin, CEO of Meter Science and technology, made an application report of "Image method particle size meter in ceramic powder test" at the meeting. His pioneering work won bursts of applause.

The quality of ceramic products is closely related to the basic physical properties of powders. The morphology of powders directly affects the fluidity, filling density, gas permeability, compactability and sintering property of powders. The particle size and particle size distribution of the powder directly affect the technological performance and comprehensive performance of ceramic products. By optimizing the particle size of ceramic powder, ceramic materials with excellent comprehensive performance can be prepared.

At present, the detection of ceramic powder particle size is separate, particle size using microscopy, particle size using sieve method, sedimentation method, Fischer method and laser method. These methods have the disadvantages of cumbersome operation, human factors, inaccurate test and long test time, and can not better assist the production and research and development of powder. Then the image method particle shape analyzer can integrate the above particle shape detection function, and optimize. Seeing is believing. While measuring the particle size distribution, we can also see the morphology of each particle. It is equipped with a powerful algorithm, can automatically calculate the 30 kinds of particle size and shape parameters of each particle, accelerate the detection speed, improve the quality of detection, for the research of ceramic materials to create good conditions.

The two instruments on display are R-3000 particle size and shape meter and W-3000 microflow imager, which are suitable for the particle size and shape test of dry ceramic powder and slurry. As a new test method, the participants all gave high attention and evaluation.

At the exhibition site, Academician Dong Shaoming of Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences visited the booth to guide the application and development of instruments.

Jiang Guan, Dean of School of Materials, Donghua University, attended the booth.

Pan Wei, Professor of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering of Tsinghua University and director of the State Key Laboratory of New Ceramics and Fine Crafts, visited the booth.

Xie Zhipeng, Professor of Materials Science and Engineering Department of Tsinghua University, attended the exhibition.

The participants paid extensive attention to the grain size and shape meter technology

Meter Technology has gained attention in the meeting, but also gained a lot of demand, we will be the industry demand as the guidance, technology innovation as the driving force, product quality as the fundamental, committed to become the world's leading particle characterization experts.
