Characterization of bulk materials - Determination of a size-weighted fine fraction and crystalline silica content - Part 2: Calculation method
This document specifies the determination of the size-weighted fine fraction (SWFF) and the size-weighted fine fraction of crystalline silica (SWFFCS) in bulk materials by calculation. The document also specifies the assumptions and preconditions to be fulfilled for this method to be valid.
The purpose of this document is to allow users to evaluate bulk materials regarding their size-weighted fine fraction and crystalline silica content.
NOTE For preparation of the sample and determination of crystalline silica by X-ray Powder Diffractometry (XRD) or Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), see EN 17289-1.
The calculation method is applicable only after experiments have shown that the results are accurate and consistently equal or higher than the results from sedimentation, as specified in EN 17289 3, for that particular bulk material.
A specific method for the evaluation of the SWFF for diatomaceous earth bulk materials is given in Annex A. Due to the internal porosity of diatomaceous earth, the general instructions given in this document are adapted in order to take into account the material’s effective density.
This document is applicable for crystalline silica containing bulk materials which have been fully investigated and validated for the evaluation of the size-weighted fine fraction and crystalline silica.

General Information
Overview
EN 17289-2:2020 (CEN) - "Characterization of bulk materials - Determination of a size-weighted fine fraction and crystalline silica content - Part 2: Calculation method" - specifies a calculation-based procedure to estimate the size-weighted fine fraction (SWFF) and the size-weighted fine fraction of crystalline silica (SWFFCS) in bulk materials. The method converts particle size distribution (PSD) data into a mass fraction of particles with the potential to reach the alveoli if airborne, and then combines that with measured crystalline silica (CS) content to estimate SWFFCS. The calculation route is intended for laboratory experts and is valid only after validation against sedimentation results (EN 17289-3) for the specific material.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Input data and PSD methods: PSD must be measured by approved methods - laser diffraction (ISO 13320) or gravitational liquid sedimentation (ISO 13317‑1/2).
- Aerodynamic diameter and density: Aerodynamic diameter calculation requires the particle equivalent diameter and particle density; particle density should be measured using a standardized method (e.g., He or liquid pycnometer per ISO 1183‑1).
- Size-weighting function: SWFF is calculated by applying the alveolar deposition probability (per EN 481) to the PSD to obtain a size-weighted mass fraction.
- Crystalline silica content: CS content must be measured by X-ray powder diffractometry (XRD) or Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‑IR) as referenced in EN 17289‑1; SWFFCS = SWFF × (CS mass fraction).
- Assumptions and preconditions:
- Dynamic form factor is neglected for non-sedimentation PSD methods.
- In mixtures, component materials must share the same PSD; otherwise use sedimentation separation.
- Subsampling must be representative (see EN 17289‑1).
- Material-specific adaptation: Annex A provides a normative calculation adaptation for diatomaceous earth (DE) to account for internal porosity and effective density.
Applications and users
- Primary users: laboratory analysts, industrial minerals producers, material scientists and occupational hygiene laboratories familiar with PSD, XRD/FT‑IR.
- Practical uses:
- Comparing bulk materials by their potential fine fraction and estimated crystalline silica mass in the fine fraction.
- Supporting material selection and risk communication within supply chains (e.g., sands, flour-like minerals, diatomaceous earth).
- Complementing dustiness testing (EN 15051‑1) - SWFF quantifies inherent fine mass in the bulk, while dustiness quantifies airborne fractions generated by handling.
- Limitations: SWFF and SWFFCS are not direct workplace exposure metrics and must not replace workplace air monitoring or exposure assessment.

Introduction
A method was developed in the industrial minerals industry for the purpose of determining the “size-
weighted relevant fine fraction” within the bulk material. This document sets out the methods which
can be used to measure and calculate the fine fraction of the bulk material and the fine fraction of the
crystalline silica, in several types of bulk materials. This information provides additional information to
users for their risk assessment and to compare bulk materials. It has been used in the industry and by
institutes previously under the acronym SWeRF. EN 17289 (all parts) is based on that industrial
method and specifies the analytical methods to determine the difference between materials with coarse
quartz and fine quartz, for example, sands versus flour.
As further activities with the material (intentional or otherwise) can change the particle size
distribution, the size-weighted fine fraction can also change. Therefore, the method reports (in terms of
the mass fraction in the bulk material in percent) both, the total crystalline silica (CS) and the estimated
size-weighted fine fraction of CS.
Conventions as specified in EN 481 can be used as input for this document. However, the output of this
document is not related to the respirable fraction at the workplace and cannot be used to replace
workplace exposure measurements.
EN 17289 (all parts) specifies two procedures that can be used to estimate the size-weighted fine
fraction (SWFF) in bulk materials. It also specifies how the SWFF, once separated, can be further
analysed to measure the content of crystalline silica (SWFFCS). The method can be used for comparing
the fine fraction in different bulk samples. EN 17289 (all parts) uses the term fine fraction to indicate
that it does not analyse airborne particles, but it evaluates the proportion of particles in a bulk material
that, based on their particle size, have a potential to be respirable if they were to become airborne.
EN 17289 (all parts) also allows for the size-weighted fine fraction of crystalline silica (SWFFCS)
particles in bulk materials to be evaluated in terms of mass fraction in percent, if the fraction separated
is subsequently analysed by a suitable method.
In a comparison of similar bulk materials, in which the particle size distribution is the only variable, the
SWFF can provide useful information to guide material selection. For example, leaving all other factors
aside, a bulk material with a lower SWFF value can pose less of a risk in terms of potential occupational
exposure. For the actual exposure at the workplace, the handling etc. of the material, will play a major
role.
Concentrations of respirable dust, or respirable crystalline silica (RCS), in the workplace air, resulting
from processing and handling of bulk materials, will depend on a wide variety of factors and these
concentrations cannot be estimated using SWFF or SWFFCS values. SWFF and SWFFCS values are not
intended for workplace exposure assessments as they have no direct relationship with occupational
exposure.
The evaluation of bulk materials using SWFF is complementary to determining the dustiness according
to EN 15051-1 [1].
The difference between EN 17289 (all parts) and EN 15051-1 is that SWFF quantifies the fine fraction in
a bulk material while dustiness quantifies the respirable, thoracic and inhalable dust made airborne
from the bulk material after a specific activity (dustiness characterizes the material with relation to the
workplace atmosphere when working with the bulk material).
