A dry particle-size distribution measuring apparatus and method is applied to powdery and particulate samples that are conventionally known as having a dispersion limit of 1 mum and are dispersed to a state of fine particles or a submicron particle size, and which therefore can be accurately measured. The sample is subjected to primary dispersion by a primary dispersion flow that reaches a critical pressure and a subsonic speed, and the sample is then subjected to a secondary dispersion by a secondary dispersion flow that is different in direction from the primary dispersion flow and that reaches a critical pressure and a subsonic speed. The dispersed primary size powdery and particulate sample is supplied to a flow cell in which air flows, the flow cell 2 is irradiated with a laser beam 6, and the particle-size distribution of the sample is measured on the basis of a detection output of scattered light and/or diffracted light caused by the sample.
