In 1963, Melamed proposed a model that expressed reflectance of a powder described as a population of spherical particles of unique diameter as a function of size, shape, and optical characteristics of the powder. This article shows how this model has been adapted to fit to industrial powders. An example of use for industrial quartz is given. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
