Introduction of Standard Sieves

Standard sieve is an instrument for measuring particle size. It consists of a woven wire mesh with round or square holes. It is mainly used in laboratories for grading and particle size determination of powders, bulk particles and suspensions. The diameter is 75mm. , 100mm, 200mm, 300mm, 400mm, among which standard sieves between 200mm and 300mm are more common, which can quickly and effectively measure the size of solid particles from 125mm to 20 microns.

Standard sieves

Standard sieves are a crucial tool in various industries, especially in materials testing, construction, and geological applications. These sieves come in a range of mesh sizes and are used to separate particles based on their size. Standard sieves adhere to various international standards such as ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) or ISO (International Organization for Standardization). These standards specify the dimensions, materials, and tolerances for the construction of test sieves to ensure uniformity and accuracy in particle size analysis.

Principles of Standard Sieve

Sieving is a physical method of separating mixtures. It involves passing a mixture of particles of different sizes through a sieve or screen. Smaller particles pass through the sieve holes and larger particles are retained by the sieve.

Step 1: Raw Material Selection - Raw Material Screening

In terms of raw material selection, the machinery used by most manufacturers is not fine enough to screen the raw materials, so that the production process contains a lot of impurities, or cannot select good raw materials, and the purity of pharmaceutical raw materials cannot be well grasped. You need to use standard sieve for detection.

Step 2: Production Process - Filtration and Sieving

During the production process, due to various factors such as mechanical vibration, granular semi-finished products are easily broken and turned into small pieces or powder, which affects the output and quality. For liquids, it is more necessary to use experimental sieves for filtration and sieving to filter out impurities and detect the content of finished products.

Step 3: Finished Product - Screening Test

When the product is made into a finished product, it is necessary to select the finished product, and select a better product for packaging, which also requires analysis and screening.

Benefits of Standard Sieves

High screening accuracy

Opening sizes from 5 inches (125 mm) to 635 mesh (20 microns) allow for "micro" sieving up to 5 μm.

Standards compliant

The mesh conforms to the GB6003.1-1997 standard, which can ensure the consistency and interchangeability of standard sieves of the same model produced at any time.

Multi-layer stacking use

It can be used singly or stacked in 8 layers (including sieve bottom), and a material can be continuously divided into 7 particle segments of different specifications.

304 stainless steel

The screen frame is made of SUS304 stainless steel by stretching and polishing, the wall thickness is 0.6mm, the gloss is uniform, durable, and non-magnetic.

High temperature resistance

The screen mesh and the screen frame are fixed by soldering to prevent the problem of loosening and shaking, and can work stably at a temperature of >300 degrees.

Can be timed

It can be equipped with an automatic control timer, which can be set from 1 to 99 minutes to ensure the repeatability and consistency of the experiment.

Standard Sieves Size

Standard sieves are available in a variety of options, including:

structure and details

1. Mesh: There are various meshes to choose from, which determines the particle size that can pass through the sieve. Mesh size is determined by the number of pores per linear inch or the pore size in microns.

2. Frame material: The frames of standard sieves are made of different materials including brass, stainless steel and aluminum. The choice of frame material depends on the specific application and desired properties, such as corrosion resistance or durability.

3. Frame Diameter: Standard sieves come in different frame diameters, usually between 3 inches and 18 inches. The choice of frame diameter depends on the specific application and the size of the particles being analyzed.

4. Depth: Standard sieves come in different depths, usually between 1" and 2". The depth of the screen affects the amount of material that can be processed at one time and can be selected according to the specific application and the amount of material being analyzed.

5. Shape: Standard sieves come in different shapes including round, square and rectangular. The shape of the sieve can be selected according to the specific application and the size of the particles being analyzed.

6. Certification: Standard sieves can be certified to meet specific industry standards such as ISO or ASTM. Certified sieves are calibrated to ensure accurate and reliable particle size analysis and are commonly used in quality control and research applications.

Standard Sieves Size and Numbers

Particle Size Conversion

Definition of mesh: refers to the number of meshes in the area of 1 inch × 1 inch, that is, the number of meshes of the screen, and the number of meshes that the material can pass through the mesh is defined as the number of meshes: such as 200 mesh, it is the number of meshes. The material can pass through a screen with 200 meshes in 1 inch x 1 inch. By analogy, the larger the mesh number, the finer the material particle size, and the smaller the mesh number, the larger the material particle size.

What are Standard Sieve Standards?

Standard sieve standards are sets of specifications that define the dimensions, materials, and performance requirements for sieves used in particle size analysis. These standards ensure consistency and comparability between measurements made using different sieves.

ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials): This is the most widely used standard in North America. It specifies sieve sizes in terms of mesh number, which is the number of wires per linear inch in the mesh.

ISO (International Organization for Standardization): This standard is used globally and specifies sieve sizes in millimeters.

BS (British Standard): This standard is used in the United Kingdom and specifies sieve sizes in terms of mesh number.

Key aspects covered in standard sieve standards:

Mesh size: This is the size of the openings in the mesh and is specified in terms of mesh number (ASTM/BS) or millimeters (ISO).

Material: The material used to construct the sieve, typically stainless steel or brass.

Tolerance: The allowable variation in the dimensions of the sieve.

Testing methods: Procedures for verifying the accuracy of the sieve.

By adhering to these standards, researchers and engineers can ensure that their particle size measurements are reliable and comparable to those obtained by others using the same or similar sieves.
