Each real separation process in industrial scale takes place in turbulent conditions of motion. Therefore particular separation products include particles with properties from beyond interval of properties typical for this product. Quantitatively the partition function decracts yhis effect, which determines, in the case of gravity separation, the fraction's fragment of the density r getting to the one of separation products, in relation to the quantity of this fraction in the feed. In industrial practice, the separation efficiency is estimated by probable error or imperfection. In turbulent conditions of motion, the value of probable error is conditioned by factors connected with the geometric properties of the feed particles, device characteristics and technological parameters of the process. The variables, which characterize the particles geometric properties are screen particle diameter and the particle shape. This paper presents results of the investigations on influence of the particles geometric properties such as: the influence of size and shape of the particle on separation efficiency in dense media, being characterized by probable error.
