When to conduct wet sieving instead of dry sieving?

To judge whether the sample needs dry sieving method or wet sieving method, there are three judgment criteria as follows:

1. The dry sieving method cannot meet the requirements of sample separation

2. There is a small amount of granular agglomeration in the sample

3. It is necessary to remove the silt or clay attached to the sample

Applicable material characteristics of wet test sieve

Wet Test Sieve is used in the wet sieving procedure for sample analysis. It can be used to remove fine materials that are difficult to sieve before sample drying and testing. The processed materials need to have the following characteristics:

1. Insoluble in water

2. Does not expand and deform when exposed to water or humidity

3. The material is not sensitive to temperature changes and can maintain its shape at 110°C without changing

Material type Example Characteristics Mesh number recommendation Application scenario
Soil/geological samples wet soil, mud high water content, viscosity 10-200 mesh soil particle size analysis
Mineral/ore slurry coal slime, iron ore powder wet, fine 50-200 mesh mineral fineness detection
Organic fertilizer/compost wet compost, manure high humidity, viscosity 20-80 mesh fertilizer particle screening
Chemical powder wet rubber powder, pigment slurry wet sticky, fine 80-200 mesh powder particle size analysis
Food/agricultural products fruit residue, wet flour wet soft, sticky 30-120 mesh food residue screening
Environmental samples sludge, sediment high water content, complex 50-150 mesh environmental monitoring
Other wet and sticky materials wet cement slurry, fly ash viscous, low fluidity 40-120 mesh industrial material classification

what is wet sieve test?

The wet sieve test is also a method for analyzing the particle size distribution of samples, and it is used to remove small sample materials that may be difficult to sieve. The wet sieve test can be performed according to the following tips:

A. Before starting the analysis, weigh the total sample. The sample should be dry at this time.

B. If time permits, soak the sample to make the test analysis easier.

C. Add deflocculants such as sodium hexametaphosphate or Calgon to the soaking solution to decompose the clumped samples and disperse the sample particles.

D. Use a nozzle or sprayer to evenly wet the sample during sieving or stirring.

E. Use gentle, controlled water pressure to prevent accidental sample loss and damage to the screen.

What is a wet test sieve used for?

Wet Test Sieve is applied in wet sieving, and it is an ideal treatment method for fine powder samples that are easy to agglomerate and cause their own particle false changes to affect the accuracy of sieving. include:

Soil and mineral aggregates with high fines content

Fragile but insoluble materials such as coal or other minerals

light powder

Sludges and Glazes

Kaolin and fillers

Abrasives

microparticles

Display and introduction of product screen types

Wet Test Sieve screens are available in three forms: metal perforated plate screens, wire woven screens, and electroformed screens.

The punching plate screen has the largest opening, and the punching machine punches uniform and standard screen holes on the stainless steel metal plate. It is the most solid screen form and is suitable for the analysis of large particles, blocks, and abrasive samples, such as Rocks, abrasives, etc.

The wire woven screen has small openings and is suitable for the analysis of particles and powder samples. The pressure bearing capacity is weak, and strong impact screening should be avoided.

The electroforming screen is suitable for the precise sample analysis of the machine. The mesh is the most dense, but the screen is also the most fragile. It is only suitable for a small amount of sample analysis and is easy to break. Generally, the screen surface is supported by a grid.

Why is wet sieving important?

1. Solve the limitations of dry screening and improve the screening efficiency and accuracy of fine particle materials.

2. Liquid media can disperse particles, reduce interactions between particles, and improve screening accuracy

3. Screen suspensions to determine the particle size distribution of solid particles and expand the scope of application

4. Reduce particle aggregation and static electricity, provide accurate particle size distribution results, andaccuracy
