  2. Mesh (scale) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesh_(scale)

    Although such information contains long lists of sieve sizes, in practice sieves are normally used in series in which each member sieve is selected to pass particles approximately 1/ √ 2 smaller in diameter or 1/2 smaller in cross-sectional area than the previous sieve. For example the series 80mm, 63, 40, 31.5, 20, 16, 14, 10, 8, 6.3, 4, 2.8 ...

  3. Sieve analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_analysis

    A sieve analysis (or gradation test) is a practice or procedure used in geology, civil engineering, [1] and chemical engineering [2] to assess the particle size distribution (also called gradation) of a granular material by allowing the material to pass through a series of sieves of progressively smaller mesh size and weighing the amount of material that is stopped by each sieve as a fraction ...

    Wentworth grain size chart from United States Geological Survey Open-File Report 2006-1195: Note size typos; 33.1mm is 38.1 & .545mm is .594 Beach cobbles at Nash Point, South Wales Grain size (or particle size ) is the diameter of individual grains of sediment , or the lithified particles in clastic rocks .

  5. Particle-size distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle-size_distribution

    A large amount of materials can be readily loaded into 8-inch-diameter (200 mm) sieve trays. Two common uses in the powder industry are wet-sieving of milled limestone and dry-sieving of milled coal. Disadvantages: many PSDs are concerned with particles too small for separation by sieving to be practical.

    Granular Materials (35% or less passing the 0.075 mm (No. 200) sieve) Silt - Clay Materials (>35% passing the 0.075 mm (No. 200) sieve) Group Classification

  7. Particle size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_size

    Particle size is a notion introduced for comparing dimensions of solid particles (), liquid particles (), or gaseous particles ().The notion of particle size applies to particles in colloids, in ecology, in granular material (whether airborne or not), and to particles that form a granular material (see also grain size).

  8. Los Angeles abrasion test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_abrasion_test

    Crushed sample is then separated from fine dust on a sieve, washed, dried and weighed. [6] The test reports loss of mass to abrasion and impact, expressed as a percentage of initial sample mass. [7] Maximum acceptable loss for the base course of the road is 45%; the more demanding surface course must be 35% or less. [1]

  9. Sieve - Wikipedia

    Metal laboratory sieves An ami shakushi, a Japanese ladle or scoop that may be used to remove small drops of batter during the frying of tempura ancient sieve. A sieve, fine mesh strainer, or sift, is a tool used for separating wanted elements from unwanted material or for controlling the particle size distribution of a sample, using a screen such as a woven mesh or net or perforated sheet ...
