Experiment Screening

Screening involves physically separating particles based on their size and shape by passing them through screens with decreasing openings. The objectives of this experiment are to perform differential and cumulative screen analysis of a given sample to determine the sample's specific surface area, particle population, and average particle size. The procedure involves arranging sieves by decreasing aperture size, placing the weighed sample in the top sieve, shaking to separate fractions, brushing and weighing each fraction.

EXPERIMENT #1:

SCREENING
INTRODUCTION

 Screening involves physical sizing using openings


through which particles will either pass through or
not and therefore is based on geometrical size and
shape only.
 Screen analysis – examination of grain meal by
passing the particles through screens whose
openings gradually decrease in size and by
measuring the amount retained on each screen.
 The amount of material retained on each screen is
expressed as the weight fraction of the total sample.
OBJECTIVES

1. To perform the dif ferential and cumulative screen analysis


of a given sample.

2. To determine the specific surface, particle population, and


average particle size of a sample mixture by the use of a
screen analysis.
MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT

 Sand sample
 Tyler testing sieve (Standard, with cover and pan)
 Sieve shaker
 Brush
 Weighing balance
PROCEDURE

1. Arrange the testing sieves properly according to decreasing


aperture and rest on a sieve shaker.
2. Place the weighed amount of a sand sample on the topmost
sieve.
3. Turn on the sieve shaker and allow the separation of
dif ferent fractions.
4. Brush the remaining sand sample on each sieve and weigh
using a weighing balance and record the results.
