Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Particle size at 10th percentile = 1.2E-5
- Particle size at 50th percentile (median) = 3.8E-5
- Particle size at 90th percentile = 7.9E-5
Expected Result:
- Particle size distribution span = 1.7631578947368
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Particle size distribution span = 1.7631578947368 dimensionless.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.
