Sieve Analysis Test-DAHAN Vibration Machinery

What is a sieve analysis test?

Sieve analysis test is a common laboratory test used to determine the particle size distribution of a granular material. It involves passing a sample of the material through a series of sieves with progressively smaller openings, and measuring the weight of material retained on e ach sieve.

Sieve Analysis Test

Sieve analysis test can separate and classify samples up to 2 kg in the measurement range of 20µm-63mm, with diameters of 75mm, 100mm, 200mm, 300mm, 400mm, divided into wire woven mesh test sieves (mesh size of 0.02mm-2.36 mm), metal perforated plate test sieves (screen size 1mm-125mm), electroformed test sieves (screen size 5μm-500μm), stainless steel, brass or nylon sieves can be selected according to actual use.

What is the application of the sieve analysis test?

The purpose of a sieve analysis test is to determine the particle size distribution of a granular material. This test is commonly used in various industries such as construction, agriculture, mining and pharmaceuticals, where the particle size distribution of a material can significantly affect its properties and performance. Sieve analysis testing provides important information about the particle size distribution of a material and can help by:

1. Quality control: Through testing, the particle size distribution and quality of the material can be ensured to meet the required specifications. This is very important to ensure the consistency and performance of the material in various applications.

2. Material Characterization: This test can be used to characterize the properties of a material, including its density, porosity, and permeability. This information can be used to optimize materials for specific applications.

3. Process control: This test can be used to monitor and control the particle size distribution of materials during processing. This is important to ensure that the material is machined to the desired size range and to prevent over- or under-grinding.

4. Research and development: Through testing, the particle size distribution of different materials can be studied, and new materials with specific properties and performances can be developed.

How do you perform a sieve analysis test?

The steps involved in conducting a sieve analysis test are:

1. Collect a representative sample of the material to be tested, ensuring that it is dry and free of any contaminants or debris.

2. Weigh the sample and record the weight.

3. Set up a stack of sieves with the smallest opening size at the bottom and the largest at the top. The number of sieves used will depend on the size range of the particles being tested.

4. Place the sample on the top sieve and cover it with a lid.

5. Shake the stack of sieves using a sieve shaker or by hand for a specified amount of time, typically around 10-15 minutes.

6. Weigh the material retained on each sieve and record the weight.

7. Calculate the percentage of material retained on each sieve by dividing the weight retained by the total weight of the sample and multiplying by 100.

8. Plot the particle size distribution on a graph by plotting the percentage of material retained on each sieve against the sieve opening size.

Benefits of Sieve Analysis Test

Quality control

Helps ensure that materials meet specifications for particle size distribution and quality requirements. This is very important to ensure the consistency and performance of the material in various applications.

Material Characterization

The test provides information on the properties of the material, including its density, porosity and permeability. This information can be used to optimize materials for specific applications.

Precise mesh

All standard sieves are interchangeable and consistent. The same number of sieves in different periods ensures consistent mesh. The same number of sieves in different periods ensures consistent mesh.

High temperature resistant

The screen mesh and the screen frame are connected by welding, which can withstand high temperature of 400° and can be used for inorganic and organic solutions. The connection is firm, without gaps, and without materials.

Cut costs

This helps to optimize raw material usage by ensuring that raw material is processed to the required size range and waste is minimized.

Regulatory Compliance

Regulatory agencies often require sieve analysis testing to ensure materials meet specifications for quality and safety requirements.

Sieve Analysis Test Results

The results of a sieve analysis test provide information about the particle size distribution of a granular material. The test results typically include the following information:

1. Mass retained on each sieve: The mass retained on each sieve is reported in grams or ounces and represents the weight of material that was retained on that particular sieve.

2. Cumulative mass retained: The cumulative mass retained is the total weight of material retained on all the sieves up to that point in the sieve stack.

3. Cumulative mass percent retained: The cumulative mass percent retained is the percentage of material retained on all the sieves up to that point in the sieve stack, calculated by dividing the cumulative mass retained by the initial sample mass and multiplying by 100.

4. Cumulative mass percent passing: The cumulative mass percent passing is the percentage of material that has passed through all the sieves up to that point in the sieve stack, calculated by subtracting the cumulative mass percent retained from 100%.

5. Particle size distribution curve: The particle size distribution curve is a graph that shows the percentage of material retained on each sieve plotted against the sieve size (either in millimeters or microns). This curve provides a visual representation of the particle size distribution of the material.

The results of the sieve analysis test can be used to determine the particle size distribution of the material and to classify it according to various standards and specifications. This information can be useful for quality control, process control, material characterization, and research and development in various industries.
