14、E 1The size of the sample is very important in sieve analysisbecause the number of particles on a sieve surface affects the probabilityof any one particle passing through the sieve at a given time. The moreparticles there are on a sieve, the greater probability that any one particleis hindered from

15、getting into a position to pass through the opening.Avoidoverloading the sieves.7.2 Screen the test sample from 7.1 on a No. 4 (4.75-mm)sieve. Weigh the material passing the sieve and, if desired,screen in accordance with Test Method E 276.8. Procedure8.1 Clean the sieves and apparatus by brushing.8

16、.2 Nest the selected sieves and fit a pan to the bottom sieve.Place the material which was retained on the No. 4 (4.75-mm)sieve from 7.2 in the top sieve. Cover and clamp in themechanical shaker and shake for the length of time as specifiedin 8.3.8.3 Length of Screening Time or End PointThe screenin

17、gtime or end point is when additional periods of shaking fail tochange the results on any sieve used in the test by more than0.3 %. For highly friable material the 0.3 % specification maybe meaningless and an acceptable end point shall be deter-mined experimentally.8.4 WeighingRemove the clamp and c

18、over. Transfer thecontents of each sieve to a tared pan, tapping and brushing thesieves to remove any lodged particles (Note 2). Record theweight of each sieve fraction.NOTE 2For sieves 2 in. (50 mm) and larger, the probability of a pieceof material passing through the sieve is related to its shape.

19、 Retainedparticles approximating the size of the sieve openings should be adjustedby hand to see if they will pass through. For sieves smaller than 2 in.,gently shake by hand to determine if screening is complete.9. Calculation9.1 Sum the weights of each sieve fraction including theweight of the mat

20、erial passing the No. 4 sieve in 7.2. The totalshall be within 1 % of the weight of the original test sample orthe analysis must be repeated from 7.1 with another testsample. The weight of the test sample used for calculation isthe total of the sieve fractions. Calculate the percent retainedon each

21、sieve as follows:Material retained, % 5 Wr/Wt! 3 100 (1)where:Wr= mass retained on each sieve, andWt= total mass of all sieve fractions.Calculate the percent passing the finest sieve as follows:Material passing, % 5 Wp/Wt! 3 100 (2)where:Wp= mass passing the finest sieve, retained on a pan orfilter,

22、 andWt= total mass of all sieve fractions.Obtain the percent cumulative by adding each percent retainedon each sieve as the series progresses.10. Report10.1 Report the following data: sieve size, weight retainedon or passing through sieve, percent retained on sieve, andpercent cumulative.10.2 Presen

23、t the data of a screen analysis graphically as acumulative direct plot or a cumulative logarithmic plot. Fromthe plots, the percentages remaining on any set of openingsother than those of the testing sieves used, can be found byinterpolation and in this way redistribution of the same materialby any

24、assumed set of openings can be determined.11. Standardization of Sieves11.1 Calibrate the sieves by use of calibrated glass spheres.Standard glass spheres are available through the NationalInstitute of Standards and Technology (NIST)3and otherinternational standardization organizations.12. Precision

25、 and Bias12.1 PrecisionIt is generally agreed that the selection ofthe sample, loading of the sieves, sieves themselves, or thefinal weighing, all influence the reproducibility and accuracy ofscreening. Some particle wear occurs but is usually insignifi-cant. Brittleness or hardness of the ore and t

26、he mode ofoperation of the mechanical shaker influence slightly theresults of the test. The size and shape of the particlessignificantly influence the probability of passing when screenor sieve aperture and particle size are close. Screening time isimportant, but it cannot be said that a specific ti

27、me of screeningshould be used for all types of materials. End point or time ofscreening for different materials is to be established by experi-mentation.12.2 When fines form clusters of agglomerates or adhere tocoarse particles, wet screening may be required or be desirable,depending upon each users
