Sieving Equipment for Accurate Particle Size Analysis
Sieving is a core method for particle size analysis across industries like construction, mining, pharmaceuticals, and food production. Our extensive selection of sieve analysis test equipment helps labs and field teams get accurate, repeatable results with minimal effort.
What Is Particle Size Analysis by Sieving?
Particle size analysis by sieving involves separating materials into size ranges using mesh screens. It's used to:
-
Test aggregate gradation for concrete or asphalt
-
Measure powder particle size in pharmaceuticals and food
-
Analyze soil composition in environmental studies
This method uses test sieves stacked by decreasing mesh size. Finer particles pass through, while larger ones are retained. The result is a reliable size distribution breakdown.
Types of Sieving Equipment We Offer
We carry over 3,200+ sieving products to match your testing needs:
Test Sieves
Available in 3in to 18in diameters, in stainless steel or brass, full or half height. Ideal for powder size sieving, sand, soil, and aggregates.
Sieve Shakers
Manual and mechanical sieve shakers ensure consistent motion during the test. Options include horizontal sieving systems and air jet sieves.
Accessories
Find sieve covers, pans, clamps, calibration beads, and tubing. These components ensure stable setup and precise sieving test results.
Measuring Tools
Digital calipers and balances are available to help measure sample sizes and sieve openings accurately.
Materials Used in Sieving
The performance of a sieve depends on the material and design. We offer:
-
Stainless steel sieves for durability and corrosion resistance
-
Brass sieves for traditional fine material testing
-
Non-metallic pans for specific material compatibility
Mesh sizes follow ASTM and ISO standards, ensuring lab-grade accuracy.
Wet vs. Dry Sieving
Dry Sieving: Used for clean, dry particles like aggregate or metal powders. It’s fast and ideal for most routine tests.
Wet Sieving: Best for fine particles or materials that clump (like soil or clay). Water or liquid disperses the sample and improves accuracy.
