The term particle is used generically, but it is also the most descriptive term in the English language for shavings and hammermilled furnish which have no outstanding geometric characteristics. If particles are slender in the grain direction, they are referred to as slivers and, if they are very slender, they are strands. If width is much greater than thickness, the particle is better described as a flake. Reduction in size results in either fibers or very small particles normally called fines. 2, record 3, English, - fine%20particle
