DIN EN 12948:2011-02 EN 12948:2010 (E) 4 Introduction The dry sieving of powdered material containing individual particles can be carried ou
23、t quite easily. This method is simple, quick, cheap and enables the determination of the particle size of water-soluble materials. Therefore the dry sieving method should always be used first. However, the sieve apertures can become blocked by sample particles, a phenomenon known as blinding. Blindi
24、ng is mainly caused by caking and the production of electrostatic charges, particularly on sieves with small apertures. Dry sieving of very wet material can also lead to blinding. These difficulties are not encountered with the wet sieving method, which is applicable to any kind of material such as
25、powders (dry or wet), paste-like products or granules except those containing water-soluble constituents. In order to ensure the comparability of results, all masses of size fractions are expressed as dry matter. The approach to methods and principles of sieving refers to existing guidelines and Eur
26、opean Regulations (1 and 2). DIN EN 12948:2011-02 EN 12948:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies two methods for the determination of the particle size distribution of liming materials. The dry sieving method (method A) is applicable to all liming materials except wet and paste-like pr
27、oducts. Method A is not applicable, if blinding, caking, electrostatic charges or agglomeration occur after pre drying. The wet sieving method (method B) is applicable to products which are susceptible to blinding, caking, electrostatic charges or agglomeration after pre drying. Method B can be used
28、 to determine the primary particle size distribution of granulated products. Method B is not applicable to burnt lime and liming materials containing water-soluble constituents. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

A recom
35、mended sampling method is given in EN 1482-1. Sample preparation shall be carried out in accordance with EN 1482-2. 6 Procedure 6.1 Test portion The whole laboratory sample shall be divided in equal test portions of at least 100 g. The size of the test portions will vary according to the coarseness
36、of the laboratory sample and shall be in accordance with EN 1235:1995, Table 1, subject to a minimum of 100 g. 6.2 Method A 6.2.1 Preparation of test portions Dry wet samples if there is a possibility that blinding of the sieves could occur during the sieving. Dry the wet sample in an oven (4.6) at
37、(105 2) C for an appropriate period of time (see EN 12048). Check whether agglomeration occurs after drying by carrying out a preliminary sieving test. Use method B if agglomeration occurs. 6.2.2 Determination WARNING When sieving burnt or hydrated lime products, it is essential that precautions are
38、 taken to avoid inhalation and skin contact with the product. It is recommended that operations are carried out under a fume hood and appropriate gloves and eye protection are worn. 6.2.2.1 Carry out at least two single determinations on separate test portions prepared from the same laboratory sampl
39、e. 6.2.2.2 Select a maximum of seven test sieves (4.3) from the range of principal sizes listed in ISO 565 to cover the range of particle size expected. For granular liming materials perforated plates according to ISO 3310-2 may be used. DIN EN 12948:2011-02 EN 12948:2010 (E) 7 Assemble the sieves i
40、n ascending order of aperture size on top of the receiver. Weigh the test portion (6.1) to the nearest 0,01 g per 100 g of test portion, place it on the top sieve and fit the cover. 6.2.2.3 Place the sieve or the assembled nest of sieves on the mechanical shaker (4.2) and shake for exactly 10 min (u
41、se a stopwatch (4.4). Set the mechanical shaker to a medium vibration frequency throughout the sieving. 6.2.2.4 If a nest of sieves is used, remove the sieves from the nest and weigh the quantity retained on each sieve and in the receiver to the nearest 0,01 g. Remove particles caught in the mesh of
42、 the sieve by brushing the reverse side of the sieve. 6.2.2.5 If only one sieve is used, discard the undersize fraction that has passed through the sieve. Repeat the sieving process for exactly 1 min. If more than 0,2 g passes through the sieve, repeat the procedure as many times as necessary. Remov
43、e particles caught in the mesh of the sieve by brushing the reverse side of the sieve. Weigh the oversize fraction. 6.3 Method B 6.3.1 General Use an additional test portion to determine the moisture content in accordance with EN 12048. Carry out at least two single determinations on separate test p
44、ortions prepared from the same laboratory sample. 6.3.2 Determination 6.3.2.1 Non-granulated and non-agglomerated products 6.3.2.1.1 Select a maximum of seven test sieves (4.3) from the range of principal sizes listed in ISO 565 to cover the range of particle size expected. Assemble the sieves in as
45、cending order of aperture size on top of the receiver. Weigh the test portion (6.1) to the nearest 0,01 g per 100 g of test portion, place it on the top sieve and fit the lid with the intake for water. 6.3.2.1.2 Place the assembled nest of sieves on the mechanical shaker (4.2) and shake under a cont
46、inuous water flow of 2,0 l/min to 2,5 l/min for exactly 10 min (use a stopwatch (4.4). Set the mechanical shaker to a medium vibration frequency throughout the sieving. 6.3.2.1.3 Remove the sieves from the mechanical shaker and rinse the residues of each sieve quantitatively into separate 250 ml pre
47、-weighed beakers. Decant or pipette most of the water on the top of the material, ensuring that no material is spilled. Dry each of the oversize fractions in an oven (4.6) at (105 2) C and then weigh each fraction separately (see EN 12048). 6.3.2.2 Granulated and agglomerated products Weigh the test
48、 portion (6.1) to the nearest 0,01 g per 100 g of test portion and transfer it into a 800 ml beaker. DIN EN 12948:2011-02 EN 12948:2010 (E) 8 Add approximately 500 ml of water. Stir the granules for 10 min by means of a mechanical stirrer with a rotational speed not exceeding 800 min-1. Avoid grindi
49、ng. Rinse out the sample completely on to the top sieve and fit the lid with the intake for water. Continue according to 6.3.2.1.2 and 6.3.2.1.3. If the sum of individual masses is less than 95 % of the original mass, it should be assumed that the sample contains water-soluble constituents. 7 Expression of results 7.1 Method A 7.1.1 Record the masses of the fractions retained on the sieves and the receiver (see 6.2.2.4 and 6.2.2.5). 7.1.2 Calculate each mass fracti
