The Lorenz-polarization (LP) factor, which is used for x--ray intensity calculations from polycrystalline materials contains a term that describes the fraction of diffracting grains in the irradiated sample volume. We present extensions of this term and a series of experiments that tests its applicability. The implications of the analysis on microbeam diffraction are also discussed.
