KS Tools 144.0565 Sand sieve, wood, mesh size 2,8mm

Product Information

Instead of wasting time digging through soft sand by hand, you can simply sift metal objects out in one swift move. It’s not as tough as a stainless steel model, but the included trowel is great for finding harder items. It also helps determine what modifications can be applied to the soil and the best way to achieve maximum soil strength. A sieve analysis can be performed on any type of non-organic or organic granular materials including sand, crushed rock, clay, granite, feldspar, coal, soil, a wide range of manufactured powder, grain and seeds, down to a minimum size depending on the exact method.

The larger solid particles, in this case, the sand grains are unable to pass through and are left on the paper.Machine Mart Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, register number 703528 and acts as a credit broker and not a lender. To prepare the sample, the aggregate should be mixed thoroughly and be reduced to a suitable size for testing. When it comes to wet sieving it is very important not to change the sample in its volume (no swelling, dissolving or reaction with the liquid). Concrete contractors can accurately predict how much water they will require to mix the concrete by using the fineness modulus.

The results of this test are used to describe the properties of the aggregate and to see if it is appropriate for various civil engineering purposes such as selecting the appropriate aggregate for concrete mixes and asphalt mixes as well as sizing of water production well screens. The gradation can be affected to achieve the desired properties for the particular engineering application.A wet sieving process is set up like a dry process: the sieve stack is clamped onto the sieve shaker and the sample is placed on the top sieve. Filtration usually involves a circle of filter paper folded to make a cone and placed into a filter funnel. While your average trowel can get the job done, it’s not exactly the most practical choice when you throw moving water into the mix. And that's because some of the smaller pieces of sand have managed to pass through the filter paper into the water.
