b) the equivalent surface sphere diameter;
c) the surface-volume diameter (diameter of a sphere having the same external surface to
volume ratio as the particle);
d) the sieve diameter (width of the minimum aperture through which the particle will pass);
e) the projected area diameters (diameter of a circle having the same area as the projected area
of the particle resting in a stable position).
