  1. a Dphys = physical diameter; Lphys = physical length; Dae = aerodynamic diameter. Dae values in the Table are orientation-averaged values for the fiber-shaped fractions of the WO2.81, WO2.66, and WO2.51 powders). Calculated Dae values for the isometric-shaped particle fraction of the WO2.81, WO2.66, and WO2.51 powders are 2.5 ± 1.5, 7.5 ± 6.0, and 3.7 ± 1.8 μm, respectively.
  2. b Particles having isometric (I)- or fiber (F)-shaped morphology
  3. c -- Not applicable for materials of isometric morphology only
