# Particle characterization according to ASTM F1877 for all types of debris

## You wish to carry out particle characterization according to the ASTM F1877 standard for your metallic, polymer or ceramic debris

Firstly, the acronym ASTM F1877 refers to **s****tandardised test methods for the determination of morphology, number, size and size distribution of particles.**

Because these methods for determining the morphology, number, size and size distribution of particles are based solely on geometric considerations, these methods are suitable for all types of composite debris: metal, polymer, ceramic.

Among the many advanced techniques available to FILAB,[laser particle sizing](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-laser-granulometry.md), [SEM](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-sem-scanning-electron-microscopy/laboratory-of-surface-analysis-by-scanning-electron-microscope-sem.md), and [optical microscopy](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-of-analysis-and-observation-by-optical-microscope-mo.md) are particularly well suited to particle testing.

FILAB is therefore able to offer its debris characterisation services in accordance with the ASTM F1877 standard thanks to its state-of-the-art[analytical equipment](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources.md) and its teams of experts.

## FILAB offers particle test according to ASTM F1877 for all types of debris

In order to support manufacturers in the development and quality control of their products, by following the regulatory evolutions, the FILAB laboratory provides a state-of-the-art [analytical facility](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources.md) of 5200m², allowing the characterization of particles according to the ASTM F1877 standard for any type of debris.
