12in Wet Wash Sieve, Brass/Stainless, 8in Deep, #200: ASTM D1140

Gilson 12in Wet Wash Sieve, Brass/Stainless, 8in Deep, #200: Meets ASTM D1140

The Gilson 12in Wet Wash Sieve is a great all around tool for wet testing of many materials. With the extra deep frame you can wash fines through the sieve without losing any of the sample.

In preparing soil specimens for sieving a agent is often used to disperse the soil in water so you can get an accurate measurement of material by preventing clumping. Soaking the soil specimen can be an important step, especially for cohesive soils, to facilitate the separation of fine particles and ensure more precise results.

This model has a brass frame and a permanently installed stainless steel mesh cloth with No. 200 (75µm) openings. The overall frame depth is 8in (203mm) so there is plenty of room for wash water during testing. The sieve is capable of separating even a small amount of fine material from the sample, ensuring accurate analysis.

The Gilson Wet Wash Sieve meets ASTM E11 standards so it’s a great choice for fines content or sample preparation for particle size testing. It nests with standard sieves so it’s easy to store and organize. Gilson 200mm Sieve

Includes certificate of conformance to ASTM E11.

For best results we offer sieving accessories with pans, tubing, brushes, gaskets and other products to prepare specimens for sieving. Additional steps, such as using dispersants or soaking, may be required for certain soil types to ensure accurate separation of fine particles. During the washing process, particles and other articles or debris are removed, ensuring that only the material finer than the specified sieve size is measured. We also offer verification services that provide NIST traceable documentation of opening sizes for extra assurance in your test results.

The Gilson 12in Wet Wash Sieve is built with high quality materials to meet industry standards. Brass frame and stainless steel cloth means it’s durable and long lasting. Meets AASHTO T 11, ASTM E11, ASTM C117 and ASTM D1140.

Built to last and meets industry standards the Gilson 12in Wet Wash Sieve is a great tool for wet testing and sample preparation. The deep frame design means you get accurate results without losing any of the sample so it’s perfect for professionals in many industries.

Product Overview

The ASTM D1140 standard test methods are essential for determining the amount of material finer than 75 micrometers (No. 200 sieve) in soils by washing. These test methods are widely used in the construction and engineering industries to accurately establish the amount of fine material present in soil samples. By utilizing sieving and wet sieving techniques, the standard ensures that fine material is efficiently separated from larger particles, providing reliable and repeatable results.

There are two primary methods outlined in the standard: Method 1 involves wash sieving without dispersing the specimen, while Method 2 uses a deflocculating agent to disperse the soil in water before sieving. The method depends on the characteristics of the soil and the requirements of the requesting authority. Both methods are designed to deliver accurate determinations of the amount of material finer than 75 micrometers, which is critical for assessing soil suitability in engineering and construction projects.

Product Description and Features

The ASTM D1140 Standard Test Methods for Amount of Material in Soils is a complete testing protocol to determine the amount of material finer than 75 micrometers (No. 200 sieve) in soils. This standard test method has two methods to determine the amount of material finer than the specified sieve size for different types of soils and properties. These methods for the amount of material in soils are outlined in the ASTM D1140 standard. The test methods cover determination of the amount of material finer than a 75-μm (No. 200) by using water or a agent to disperse and handle material finer than the specified sieve size, often utilizing a soil hydrometer for precise measurement. The procedures are used to analyze soils finer than 75 micrometers. The standard also provides definitions and terms to ensure uniformity in soil testing procedures.

ASTM D1140 Standard Test Methods:

• Two methods for material finer than 75 micrometers (No. 200)

• Maximum particle size of 75 mm (3 in.)

• Material finer than 75 micrometers (No. 200). The percentage of material is calculated based on the mass of material passing the compared to the original sample mass.

• Required for soil properties and behavior in many engineering and construction applications. The values stated in the standard must be used for consistency in reporting results.

• Follow the correct order of operations as specified in the standard for reliable and repeatable results.
