Why use a soil sieve?

What is the best way to sieve soil

Soil sifters are used for a variety of reasons, including:

1. Soil classification: Sieving is an important step in soil classification, and it is a process of classifying soil according to its physical and chemical properties. Sieving helps determine the particle size distribution of soil, which is a key factor in soil classification.

2. Soil analysis: Sieving is used in soil analysis to determine the soil's texture and structure, which can provide valuable information about its fertility, water-holding capacity, and other properties. Soil analysis is important in agriculture, horticulture and environmental monitoring.

3. Soil Fertility: Sieves are used in soil fertility tests to determine the nutrient content of the soil. By analyzing the particle size distribution of the soil, sieving can help identify any nutrient deficiencies or imbalances in the soil.

4. Construction: Sieving is used in construction to analyze the particle size distribution of soil and other construction materials such as sand and gravel. This information is important in determining the suitability of a material for a particular construction application.

5. Environmental monitoring: Screening is used for environmental monitoring, analyzing the particle size distribution of soil and sediment, which can provide valuable information about environmental factors such as soil erosion and pollution.

Overall, soil sieves are an important tool for soil analysis, classification and monitoring. By providing accurate and reliable particle size analysis, soil sieves can help improve soil fertility, identify potential environmental hazards, and ensure soil and other building materials are suitable for specific applications.

Application of Soil Sieve

Standard soil sieves is suitable for the analysis of soil with a particle size greater than 0.074mm, and can separate soils of different finenesses. The particle size distribution of the soil can be determined through the soil sieves classification experiment. It is suitable for the determination of soil nitrogen content, soil potassium content, and soil carbonate. Determination, can also be used to sieve soil and rocks to form fine bonsai or potting soil, filter to remove fine dust that will clog the soil mixture and remove gravel and other debris, it is a necessary sieving instrument for soil experiments.

application of soil sieve

Working Principle of Soil Sieve

Soil sieve separates the soil particles into different particle sizes through the screen. The soil is put into the sieve, and through mechanical vibration or manual stirring, the particles are vibrated, smaller particles pass through the sieve, and larger particles are filtered out. The pore size of the screen determines the size of the separated particles, and the vibration force makes the particles jump on the screen to promote separation. Different screen apertures can achieve different grading effects, remove impurities and improve soil quality.

Method of Using Soil Sieve

types of soil sieve

1. Take soil from air-dried loose soil samples by quartering. The quantity of soil is carried out according to the following figure in the table.

2. The sample was screened by 2mm, and the soil quality on and under the screen was respectively weighed out. Pour the soil on the 2mm screen into the upper layer of the coarse screen stacked in turn, and pour the soil under the 2mm screen into the upper layer of the fine screen stacked in turn (analysis screen from top to bottom aperture large to small stack). The sieve shaker is used to fully sieve out until the soil particle diameter on each sieve is greater than the mesh pore diameter, generally shaking the sieve for 15~30min;

3. Starting from large aperture sieve, each sieve will be removed in sequence, and the soil left on each sieve will be weighed respectively, accurate to 0.1g. The difference between the sum of the soil mass on each screen and the total soil mass shall not be greater than l% of the total soil mass.

4. Calculate the content of grain group and cumulative content, draw the gradation curve, get the characteristic particle size, analyze the gradation of soil, and name it according to the specification.

Soil particle size (mm) <2mm <10mm <20mm <40mm >40mm
Sampling mass (g) 100-300g 300-900g 1000-2000g 2000-4000g Above 4000g

Soil Sieve Instructions for Use

1. Coarse sieves commonly used in standard soil sieves are generally round holes with apertures of 100, 80, 60, 40, 20, 10, 5, 2mm; fine sieves are generally square holes with equivalent apertures of 2.0, 1.0, 0.5, 0.25, 0.10, 0.075mm. There are some differences in the pore size classification of analytical sieves used in different countries and departments;

2. Analytical balance, analytical balance needs two types according to the weighing range and accuracy: (1) weighing 10kg, with a sense of 1g, (2) weighing 1000g, with a sense of 0.1g;

3. Shaker, the specification stipulates that the shaker can shake in the horizontal direction and slap in the vertical direction. The shaking frequency is 100~200 times/min, and the slapping frequency is 50~70 times/min.
