The most widely used parameter of droplet size is the volume median diameter (Vmd) measured in micrometres. A representative sample of droplets of a spray is divided into two equal parts by volume so that one half of the volume contains droplets smaller than a droplet whose diameter is the vmd, and the other half of the volume contains larger droplets. 2, record 7, English, - volume%20median%20diameter
