This study was performed to determine the feasibility of the Vollstädt 'DiaTest-SI' single particle strength tester as a system for measuring the compressive strength of synthetic industrial diamond grit products. Issues that were addressed included: the range of grit products (in terms of both size and strength) for which the DiaTest SI system was appropriate, the choice of distribution statistics with which to describe diamond strength, and the similarities (on a statistically significant level) of the results from various test centres.
