scope:
This part of EN 623 describes manual methods of making measurements for the determination of mean linear intercept grain size of advanced technical ceramics using photomicrographs of polished and etched test pieces. This is not the true mean grain diameter, but a somewhat smaller parameter representing the average path length of a line drawn acrosss a two-dimensional section. The relationship to true grain dimensions depends on grain shape and degree of microstructural anisotropy.
