: Measuring Particle Size Using Sieves
WEBJan 24, 2023 · Using the sieves in Figure 1, for example, we can separate a solid into particles with diameters >1700 μm, with diameters between 1700 μm and 500 μm, with diameters between 500 μm and 250 μm, and those with a diameter <250 μm. The sample is place in the uppermost sieve and mechanical shaking used to effect the .
