20、 on the clean, dry45-m (No. 325) sieve. Wet the sample thoroughly with agentle stream of water. Remove the sieve from under thenozzle and adjust the pressure on the spray nozzle to 69 6 4kPa (10 6 0.5 psi). Return the sieve to its position under thenozzle and wash for 1 min, moving the sieve with a
21、circularmotion in a horizontal plane at the rate of one motion persecond in the spray. The bottom of the spray nozzle shouldextend below the top of the sieve frame about 12 mm (0.5 in.).Immediately upon removing the sieve from the spray, rinseonce with about 50 cm3of distilled or deionized water, us

Dry the sieve and residue inan oven or over a hot plate (see Note 2), supporting the sievein such a manner that air may pass freely beneath it. Cool thesieve; then brush the residue from the sieve and
23、 weigh on ananalytical balance capable of reproducing results within 0.0005g.NOTE 2Care should be taken not to heat the sieve hot enough tosoften the solder.6. Cleaning of 45-m (No. 325) Sieves6.1 Frequency of Cleaning and CalibrationSieves fittedwith woven wire sieve cloth shall be cleaned after no
24、 more thanfive determinations. Sieves fitted with an electroformed rein-forced sieve sheet having 71 openings per linear centimetreshall be cleaned after no more than three determinations. Bothtypes of sieves shall be recalibrated after no more than 100determinations.6.2 Acceptable Cleaning Procedur
25、esOne option forcleaning is to place the sieve in a low-power (150 W maximumpower input) ultrasonic bath containing an appropriate labora-tory cleaning solution. The bath is to be operated for sufficienttime (approximately 10 to 15 min at room temperature) toremove particles lodged in the openings.
26、Be apprised thatelectroformed sieve sheets containing more than 71 openingsper linear centimetre may well be damaged by ultrasoniccleaning. An option for cleaning which does not require anultrasonic bath can also be employed. Immerse the sieve in abath of appropriate laboratory cleaning solution hea
27、ted to justbelow boiling point. Cover with a watch glass to reduceevaporation. Continue this soaking for a time sufficient toloosen lodged particles with a rinse following the bath.Overnight soaking in similar but unheated cleaning solutions isalso acceptable, provided a rinse following the bath is
28、able towash away lodged particles. Cleaning or rinsing with dilutehydrochloric or acetic acid solutions is to be avoided. Appro-priate cleaning solutions are restricted to soap or detergent-typesolutions.7. Calculation7.1 Calculate the fineness of the cement to the nearest 0.1 %as follows:Rc5 Rs3 10
