Abstract: The distribution analysis of particle size of some poly(vinyl chloride) latexes was performed with a modified photometer Spekol. The relationships between the turbidity ratio and the medial and latitudinal parameter of lognormal distribution of negative order or analogously between turbidity and wavelength of radiation served as working curves. The results obtained by the method of turbidity ratios were in excellent agreement with the data determined by electron microscopy or resulting from the dependence of light scattering on angle. It has been confirmed that this method gives mean mass diameter of particle size.
