    Thanks!

    The answers are:

    Q: Which parameters are measured with PM GrindControl?
    A: Pressure & Temperature

    Q: The centrifugal mode is characterized by a certain speed ratio of sun wheel to grinding jar. Which ratio is correct?
    A: 1:-1 Thanks Clanger999, Northernstar, CheekyLittleMonkey, Lo-Lo. Sorry everyone who used 1:-2 :o

    Q: Where do RETSCH manufacture their mills and sieve shakers?
    A: Germany

    I think :D. I have linked each answer to the page I took the info from. Answer 3 I assume is Germany as this is where the laboratory is (in Haan)

    THANKYOU - I was soooo depressed that I had quoted what I thought was the wrong ratio!!!!

    Hey hrafndot, you and the rest of the smarties have a very good right to feel smug. I didn't even bother attempting to answer the questions at 21:00 yesterday night, even with the help icon.
    Horrible memories of F=M x A and bending moments are starting to return!
    Now even more in debt... to Catz747 and now Toniq as well!
