Description
Grinding ball 10 mm agate is a milling medium manufactured from natural agate (SiO2) for comminution of soft to medium-hard laboratory samples. Abrasion resistance is rated as good, making the balls suitable for controlled sample preparation where the contamination profile of agate media is preferred. From manufacturer Fritsch, 10 mm diameter agate balls are also recommended as sieving aids for dry sieving of powders with a high fines fraction, typically ten pieces per sieve. Recommended loadings scale with bowl size: about 100 balls for a 500 ml grinding bowl (useful sample volume 80–225 ml), 50 balls for 250 ml, 25 for 80 ml, 18 for 45 ml, 10 for 20 ml, and 6 for 12 ml bowls, down to five, three, or one ball in 15 ml, 10 ml, and 5 ml bowls respectively. Net weight is 0,0020 kg per piece. These balls support reproducible grinding in planetary and related laboratory mills when soft to medium-hard materials must be processed with consistent media performance.

Questions about grinding ball 10 mm agate
What is this article?
grinding ball 10 mm agate is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Fritsch for laboratory use. It sits in Mills, grinders & homogenisers, inside Test sieves & mills, in Instruments de laboratoire.
A mill, grinder or homogeniser reduces particle size or breaks a tissue before an extraction. The rotor and the sieve insert decide the result. A knife mill and a bead mill are different machines. The sample has to tolerate the heat the motor puts into it.
A test sieve sorts particles by whether they pass an opening. Wire mesh and perforated plate are two ways of making that opening, and the nominal size is not a suggestion. A sieve shaker repeats the motion so the result does not depend on how hard someone shook by hand. A mill or grinder makes the particles smaller before they are sieved. The certificate of the sieve, and the opening size, are what an audit asks for. Measurement practice around mass and dimension sits with the BIPM, EURAMET and BELAC.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Test sieves & mills. The sub-category is Mills, grinders & homogenisers. The catalogue is Instruments de laboratoire.
Shelves beside this one are Test sieves (wire mesh), Test sieves (perforated plate), Sieve shakers and Sieve accessories (lids, pans, rings).
