Particle size and Particle size distribution analysis by sieving method
- Select standard sieve set consist of various size. Arrange them in such a manner that larget mesh size at the top and finest at the bottom.
- Weigh approximately 50gm of powder. Place the sample on the coarsest sieve and keep the lid.
- Fix the sieve set on the mechanical shaker. Switch on the mechanical stirrer and let the timer on for 20 minutes. When the shaker stops automatically, collect the sample retained on each sieve. Weigh all the samples and report them.
- Plot the graph in between Particle size and percentage frequency.
