title: The rapid counting and sizing of fibers in a mixture using an IITRI-modified coulter counter.
abstract: Fibers can be counted and sized in the presence of other particle shapes using a modified Coulter Counter tube. With the modifications, only particles of a pre-selected projected area reach the sensor. Since particle volume is sensed, particles with volumes greater than the unit volume corresponding to the projected area are fibers.
