Full title and description

ISO 9276-1:1998/Cor 1:2004 — Representation of results of particle size analysis — Part 1: Graphical representation — Technical Corrigendum 1. A two‑page technical corrigendum that makes editorial and technical corrections and clarifications to ISO 9276-1:1998 (graphical representation of particle size distribution data).

Abstract

This corrigendum corrects errors and clarifies the graphical conventions given in ISO 9276-1:1998 for presenting particle size analysis results (histograms, distribution densities and cumulative distributions). It provides minor amendments to figure labels, notation and presentation guidance so that graphical outputs are consistent and unambiguous for laboratories, instrument manufacturers and reporting bodies.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn / superseded (technical corrigendum to ISO 9276-1:1998).
• Publication date: February 2004 (Corrigendum issued January/February 2004).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 19.120 — Particle size analysis. Sieving.
• Edition / version: Edition 2 (ISO 9276-1:1998) — Technical Corrigendum 1 (2004).
• Number of pages: 2.

Scope

The corrigendum applies only to ISO 9276-1:1998 (Part 1 of the ISO 9276 series) and amends the original text and figures where drafting or editorial errors occurred. Its scope is limited to clarifying the graphical representation of particle size distributions — how histograms, density curves and cumulative distribution plots should be constructed and annotated for consistent interpretation.

Key topics and requirements

• Corrections to figure labels, axis annotations and notation used in graphical examples.
• Clarification of recommended graphical forms: histograms, distribution density plots and cumulative distribution curves.
• Guidance on presentation details such as axis scaling (linear vs logarithmic), bin/class width representation and legend/units.
• Consistency rules for plotting number, area/length and mass/volume based distributions.
• Editorial fixes to symbols or formulae used in examples of deriving distributions from measured data.

Typical use and users

Used by laboratories performing particle size analysis, quality assurance and R&D departments, instrument and software vendors that generate particle size distribution plots, standards and testing bodies, and technical authors preparing reports or publications that include granulometry/particle distribution graphics.

Related standards

Relevant related documents include ISO 9276-1 (1998 original — replaced by ISO 9276-1:2025), ISO 9276-2 (calculation of average particle sizes and moments), ISO 9276-3 (fitting experimental curves to reference models), ISO 9276-4 (characterization of classification processes) and ISO 9276-5 (log-normal probability calculations). National/adopted versions (e.g., BS ISO, DIN ISO) follow the same structure.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is a technical corrigendum (ISO 9276-1:1998/Cor 1:2004) that corrects and clarifies aspects of ISO 9276-1:1998 concerning the graphical representation of particle size distribution data.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers editorial and technical corrections to figure labels, notation and presentation guidance for histograms, distribution density plots and cumulative distribution curves used in particle size analysis reporting.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Analytical laboratories, instrument and software vendors, materials scientists, process engineers, QA/QC personnel and standards committees who prepare or interpret particle size distribution graphics.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The corrigendum applies to ISO 9276-1:1998 but has been withdrawn/superseded as part of the revision cycle; the ISO 9276-1 series has a newer edition published in 2025 (ISO 9276-1:2025), which replaces the 1998 publication and its corrigendum.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 1 of the ISO 9276 series on representation of results of particle size analysis. Other parts (2–5, etc.) cover calculations, curve fitting, classification characterization and log-normal probability methods.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Particle size distribution, granulometry, histogram, cumulative distribution, density plot, corr1, corrigendum, ISO 9276.
