In the article "Run of the mill" Mr. Kyran Casteel (the magazine "World Mining Equipment", April 1997), marking advantages PSI-200, has named the creation of such successful instrument as "Finnish finesse":
"... OUTOKUMPU Mintec developed the PSI-200 particle size indicator witch, the company says, employs a simple yet innovative direct measurement technique..."
Truly this is the Finish finesse!
The MICRON (PSI-200) is low cost, reliable, so, it is real the successful instrument. The accuracy of the MICRON is commensurable with the check screen analysis. The device lives since 1963 and, I think, still will live long time. The OUTOKUMPU Mintec company using my silent patience has assigned the my technology of measurement particle sizes and by that has put to me large moral and material loss.
Twice I offered this company cooperation. My suggestions were rejected.
The measurement of particle size is a specific branch of industrial science. Specialists of this interest how can I permit some Outokumpu lamers to appropriate my technology and device protected by Russian patents and had widely published. More than 40% shares of Outokumpu company appertain to Finland state so and the same part of responsibility for this shame actions is the Finland state responsibility. At 2001 I called to Finland embassy and asked to pay attention to this facts but no answer from Finish civil kingdom.
I am addressed with asking to users PSI-200, to other interest organizations and persons.
Everybody can become a victim of dirt moneymakers. Let's help each other.
P.S. Since April 2006 the Office of the Prosecutor General and police of Finland investigate my detailed and a justified complaint. It contains two important points:
Both these positions are criminal offences and are punished according to article 147 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation http://www.russian-criminal-code.com/PartII/SectionVII/Chapter19.html
Even at this time the Company makes efforts for preservation of the illegal activity. Instead of infamous instrument PSI 200 begins advertising the same piracy copy PSI 300. http://www.outotec.com/36450.epibrw. This advertising is rather original. In the brochure on the device PSI 300 my technology of measurement is deliberately hidden. This technology is presented in the brochure on other device PSI 500. http://www.outotec.com/36427.epibrw 3030EN. Pinta/Libris, Helsinki, Finland. November 2007 (Page 007)

Other on-line particle size analysis methods
PSI 300™ Particle Size Analyzer is an on-stream slurry particle size analyzer for minerals processing plants optimized for D40–D90 measurement. The analyzer takes a representative 70–150 liters/minute sample from the process using a primary sampler.
Its measurement principle is based on direct measurement of particle size using a high-precision automatic caliper.
The measured size range is from 20 to 600 microns. Accurate particle size, passing and retained readings are calculated twice per second based on 60 seconds of measurement data. The result is displayed locally on a large display and sent out as a 4–20 mA instrument signal or as serial data to the plant's DCS system. The measured particle size can be used for on-line process control.
The original PSI 200™ model has become the industry standard for slurry particle size measurement during the past 10 years.
Such refined piracy. On February, 13th 2008 I have addressed on this question in the Office of the Prosecutor General and police. Both brochures have changed and look so:
http://www.outotec.com/37097.epibrw - PSI 300;
http://www.outotec.com/37095.epibrw - PSI 500.
The Outokumpu Company did not remain in loneliness. The follower has appeared in the same city Espoo.This is IMA Engineering Ltd.

PSI 200 Particle Size Monitor
The PSI-200 is an on-stream particle size analyser for mineral slurries.
The PSI-200 is mainly applied in wet grinding circuits to monitor and control the optimum particle size of the product. Another typical applications are for the control of screens or cyclones, or the size distribution of the feed and product after flotation.
The PSI-200 measures particle sizes between few micrometers and up to millimetre size in slurries.

Both Finnish companies feel impunity and do not wish to leave the stolen.
Thank you.
