material test sieve with sample analyzes samples such as sand, quartz, fertilizer, and seeds to analyze particle size, content, and impurities, generating reliable experimental data. Sieves are manufactured according to international standards, with a sieve size range of 5.60mm to 0.0200mm. Stainless steel or nylon materials can be selected based on the characteristics of the sample.

How to perform sieving analysis using the material test sieve with sample?

Sieving with the material test sieve with sample requires pretreatment, sieve set preparation, and sieving. The sieved sample is then weighed and analyzed to complete the analysis.

Sample pretreatment: The sample to be analyzed is crushed and ground to an appropriate particle size. After removing impurities, it is then divided using a quartering method or a sample divider to ensure representativeness. The sample size after division should generally meet the screening requirements.

Sieve set selection: Based on the estimated particle size range, stack standard test sieves in descending order of mesh size, attaching a material tray at the bottom and a sieve cover at the top.

Sieving: Pour the reduced sample evenly onto the top sieve, securely cover the sieve lid, and sieve using either a manual or mechanical sieve shaker. Mechanical sieve shakers require a suitable time setting, typically 5-15 minutes. Manual sieve shakers should ensure uniform vibration in all directions until the amount of material below the sieve remains essentially constant.

Weighing and Calculation: After sieving, remove each sieve layer and receiving tray in turn. Use an electronic balance to weigh the material above the sieve layer. Calculate the percentage of each particle size fraction in the total sample mass and analyze the particle composition characteristics of the material.

What equipment is used for material test sieve with sample?

material test sieve with sample are typically performed using standard test sieves. These equipment are manufactured to comply with US standard test sieve standards and are available with 1-8 sieve layers. Screening mesh sizes range from 3 mesh to 600 mesh, allowing for coarse or fine screening of materials of varying particle sizes, depending on the intended screening purpose. Standard test sieves utilize motorized vibration for faster screening, resulting in faster test results than conventional manual sieving.

What materials are used for material test sieve with sample?

The material used for material test sieve with sample must balance wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and screening accuracy. Common types are as follows:

Metal materials: 304/316L are acid- and alkali-resistant, rust-resistant, and suitable for industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. They can handle corrosive samples and offer stable screening mesh accuracy, such as 0.02mm-5mm. Carbon steel is low-cost and high-hardness, making it suitable for non-corrosive samples such as ores and building materials. However, the equipment is prone to rust and requires regular maintenance.

Non-metallic materials: Nylon is lightweight and impact-resistant, with mesh that resists deformation. It is suitable for screening samples that are susceptible to metal contamination, such as plastic pellets and grain. It is also resistant to weak acids and weak bases. Polyester can withstand temperatures of approximately 120°C and has excellent chemical stability. It is often used for screening electronic materials and fine chemical samples. Silk or spun silk is a traditional material with an extremely fine mesh that can screen samples down to 0.02mm or less. It is suitable for high-precision screening, such as powder metallurgy and cosmetics raw materials, but it is weaker and more susceptible to breakage.

The material test sieve with sample analyzes key metrics such as sample uniformity and impurity content through sieving results, providing direct data support for material quality control, formulation optimization, and process improvement. The device boasts a compact structure, uniform vibration, and high sieving efficiency, making it suitable for a variety of samples, including metal powders, sand and gravel, chemical raw materials, and pharmaceutical powders. Its high repeatability and adjustable sieving time ensure stable and consistent test results, making it an indispensable instrument for laboratory and production testing.
