Procedure Using Hand-Sieving Method6.1 Use a nest of clean, dry sieves consisting of a No. 12(1700-m), No. 40 (425-m), and a No. 100 (150-m) sieve.Other size sieves may be used when required by the individualspecifications. Transfer a 100

Simultaneously shakethe sieves by hand with occasional tapping of the edge of thebottom sieve on a large rubber stopper or a flat, thick piece ofrubber. When the portion of the soap passing through thebottom sieve (No. 100) is less t

10、mall camels hair brush to remove thematerial from the catch pan. Repeat the same procedure ofsifting successively with each sieve used. Carefully weigh theportions retained on each sieve and the portion passing thesmallest sieve.6.2 Duplicate particle size determinations shall be made andthe average

Procedure Using Machine-Sieving Method7.1 Use a nest of clean dry sieves consisting of a No. 12(1700-m), No. 40 (425-m), and a No. 100 (150-m) sieve.Other size sieves may be used when required by the individualspecifications. Transfer a 100 6 0.1-g well-
12、mixed sample,without previous drying, to the top sieve. Place the nest ofsieves in a mechanically operated sieve shaker and allow themachine to run for 10 min. Carefully weigh the portionsretained on each sieve, and the portion passing the smallestsieve.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of
