Simulant Publications:
Particle Size Distribution Documents

The following are files containing information about the particle size distribution of various simulants. The material is organized by simulant and then by the provider of the information. If you use the data please acknowledge the original provider.

The information is provided without independent verification by the MSFC simulant team. These are working files used by the team and are made available to assist the community.
