Particle Size Distribution by Sieve Analysis

Sieving is an easy and generally used method of categorizing powder as per to its physical size alone, Sieve method includes a wide particle size range. The micro-mesh sieves arrange the aperture size in descending order. Different types of aperture ranges are accessible. Sieving executes by manual or machine movement, with either be dry or wet, the main variables that affect the sieving results contained very fine particle size, particle shape, time and method of agitation, initial sieve loading. Due to the limitations of the size at the bottom, sieving, there is not a suitable method to characterize the full particle size distribution of the powder, however, with other methods, it can act as a means of Pre-classification of powder. Overall, sieving is best suitable for analyzing the powder that contained a large size fraction. i.e. 50 µm.
