What is the objective of sieve analysis test?

The purpose of the Sieve Analysis Test is to determine the percentage of different particle sizes in the material. Perform mechanical or sieve analysis to determine the distribution of coarser, larger size particles and use the hydrometer method to determine the distribution of finer particles.

Sieve Analysis Test have applicability in many areas

1. Aggregate performance: Through Sieve analysis test, the content of particles of different particle sizes in the aggregate can be measured to evaluate the particle size distribution of the aggregate. The results of Sieve analysis test can be used as a reference for aggregate quality and help select aggregates that meet engineering standards and construction requirements.

2. Soil classification: Sieve analysis test can quickly screen out particles of different sizes in the soil and measure their content. Through the sieving test, the distribution of particles of different particle sizes in the soil can be analyzed to evaluate the environmental quality of the soil.

3. Predict soil and water movement: The permeability of soil is closely related to its particle composition. Sieving tests provide an understanding of the soil's particle size and distribution, allowing it to assess its permeability. This is of great significance for predicting soil and water movement, preventing soil and water loss, and formulating water conservancy project plans.

How Sieve Analysis Test works

Sieve Analysis Test uses a vertical vibration motor as the vibration source of the whole machine. The vibration motor drives the upper vibrating disc to vibrate, and then transmits it to the upper screen frame of the vibrating disc through the vibration disc. The materials with the aperture of the screen mesh are sieved to the lower sieve frame, so that only the materials of the same particle size are left in each layer of the test sieve, so as to achieve the separation of different materials and determine the particle size composition of the materials.

Steps to use Sieve Analysis Test

1. Weigh the sample according to the regulations.

2. Sieve the samples according to the size of the sieve holes.

3. When the thickness of the sieve layer on each sieve is greater than the maximum particle size value of the sample, the sieve residue on the sieve should be divided into two parts, and sieved again until the throughput of each sieve per minute is no longer. More than 0.1% of the total sample.

4. When the particle size of the sieved particles is larger than 20.0mm, during the sieving process, it is allowed to move the particles with fingers.

5. Weigh the weight of each sieve, accurate to 0.1% of the total weight of the sample.

6. Compared with the total amount of samples measured before sieving, the difference between the sum of all the sieve remainders on the sieve and the remainder at the bottom of the sieve shall not exceed 1%.

What is a result analysis based on a Sieve Analysis Test?

1. Divide the sieve residue on each sieve by the total amount of samples to calculate the fractional sieve residue percentage of the sieve (accurate to 0.1%);

2. The percentage of sieve residue calculated by each sieve is added to the percentage of sieve residue of each sieve larger than the sieve size, and the cumulative percentage of sieve residue is calculated (accurate to 1%);

3. According to the cumulative sieve percentage of each sieve, evaluate the particle gradation of the sample.

Precautions for Sieve Analysis Test

1.Particle shape assumption: Assume that all particles are spherical. Slender or flat particles may cause errors in the results.

2.Recommendations for fine particle populations: It is recommended to use alternative particle size measurement techniques for analysis of particle populations below 45 microns.

3.Precautions for challenging materials: For materials with high hygroscopicity or electrostatic properties, you may face some challenges, such as particle agglomeration, adsorption and other abnormal phenomena, and you need to pay extra attention to deal with these situations.

In conclusion, Sieve analysis test is an important tool in various industries, providing key insights into particle size distribution. Sieve analysis test is a simple but essential procedure in materials science and civil engineering.
