1Dv (xx %): average aerosol droplet diameter at a given percentage (xx) of the cumulative volume, for example a value of Dv (10%) = 30.93 µm for the test item no. 1 (open sieve) means that 10% of all droplets (volume share) had diameters <30.93 µm; 2Cv: average cumulative volume at a given droplet diameter, for example a value of Cv (at 10.44 µm) = 0.82% for the test item no. 1 (open sieve) means that 0.82% of all droplets (volume share) had diameters <10.44 µm; 3Numbers are an average of five measurements.
