Choosing the Optimal Test Sieve Accessories

Choosing the Optimal Test Sieve Accessories

In today's world of regulated materials with diverse properties, ensuring precise particle analysis is paramount. To maintain the accuracy of your lab's results, it's essential to explore a range of test sieve accessories. This article delves into key accessories:

Below are the Test Sieve Accesories

Sieve Cover and Collection Pan

  • These accessories serve as essential components in th e analysis of test sieves.
  • The cover for the sieve is placed on top the stack to pr event any loss of materials while sieving occurs.
  • The collection pan, positioned at the stack's base, gathers fine particles that pass through the sieves.
  • While some sieve shakers include a built-in cover, hand sieving and wet sieve analysis require these accessories.

Ultrasonic Sieve Cleaner

  • An ultrasonic sieve cleaning unit is a portable , compact device designed for efficient sieve maintenance.
  • It operates on a 110-v olt, 60-cycle power source, generating vibrations within a cleaning fluid bath to dislodge contaminants from both the sieve frame and the mesh.
  • Particularly valuable for materials prone to stickiness, it should be used with a mild detergent.

Cleaning Brush

  • Cleaning brushes, with either brass or nylon bristles, are dedicated tools for maintaining test sieves.
  • When employed appropriately, these brushes will not cause any damage to the sieves.
  • For mesh counts of 100-mesh or co arser, it is recommended to utilize brushes with brass bristles, whereas brushes with nylon bristles are more suitable for finer meshes.
  • When employing a cleaning brush, initiate the cleaning process from the underside of the sieve and employ a circular brushing motion.

Round Sieve Brush

Designed to meticulously clean a broad range of sieve cloths, from coarse to delicate, primarily suitable for cleansing fine mesh sieves, typically those classified as US Standard #100 or m ore delicate. Compatible with both Stainless Steel and Brass sieve cloths. When employed with caution, the Nylon Bristles ensure the protection of the sieve wire cloth.

Rectangular Sieve Brush

Tailored for the cleaning of coarse mesh Test Sieves, particularly those conforming to th e U.S. Standard #80 and coarser categories. Compatible with both Stainless Steel and Brass sieve cloths.

Sample Splitter

  •  A sample splitter divides particles into two identical size samples, a valuable technique for large samples.
  • The process involves evenly pouring material into the top of the splitter from right to left.

Glass Beads

  • Glass beads are identifiable and precisely calibrated spherical particles utilized for quality assurance and internal accuracy validation purposes.
  • These beads align with the sieves within your assembly, streamlining the process of test sieve certification without necessitating external assessment.

Sieving Aids

  • Sieving aids are auxiliary materials used to streamline the test sieve analysis process.
  • Lab technicians often place small rubber balls within the sieve stack when dealing with challenging-to-sieve materials. This helps break down agglomerated material.
  • Caution should be exercised to avoid overloading sieves, which can skew results and damage the mesh.

Static Avoidance

  • During testing, specific m aterials, like pigments and paint, tend to produce static electricity. To mitigate this issue, laboratory professionals have the option of in corporating substances such as burgess clay to effectively neutralize static charges.
  • It's crucial to add only a small amount, and sample weights should be measured before and after to ensure precision.

    Note: Glass beads, sieving aids, and static avoidance materials are 
    specialized and should be used when specific operational requirements demand them.
