A carbonaceous particle that is to be measured is randomly selected using a microscope attached to the machine. An average diameter of the particle that is to be measured is calculated as an average of a maximum diameter of the particle which is measured when the particle is viewed in plan with the microscope and a local maximum diameter of the particle which is measured in a direction orthogonal to an axis along which the maximum diameter occurs. Subsequently, a compression test is conducted with a maximum testing force of 490 mN and a loading rate of 4.8 mN/sec. A testing force at which a displacement (deformation) of the particle reaches 10% of the average diameter is substituted into Formula below in order to calculate a 10%-particle size displacement pressure. Four or more carbonaceous particles are subjected to the above measurement. An average of measurement results of the bottom 50% of a distribution of the 10%-particle size displacement pressure is considered a 10%-particle size displacement pressure of the sample. {10%-Particle size displacement pressure} = 2.48 × {Testing force [N]}/(π × {Average diameter [μm]} × {Average diameter [μm]})
