Dry Sieve Standardization4.1 Correction Factors:4.1.1 Correction of the residues obtained on the 203-mm(8-in.) diameter 300-m (No. 50) and 150-m (No. 100) drytesting sieves is not required.4.1.2 Where applicable, a correction factor for a 75-m (No.200) sieve

16、 shall be determined using the instructions given inAnnex A1. A correction factor should be determined whenaccuracy is desired in order to compare results betweenlaboratories.4.2 Standard SamplesEach laboratory must prepare itsown standard samples for wet-sieve tests for each of the sievesizes used.

17、 Select standard samples at a level of fineness in thesame range as that used in routine work. After the selectedmaterial is reserved, uniformly mix the gross sample byplacing it on a sheet of rubber, oil cloth, or heavy wrappingpaper, depending on the sample size, and raising first onecorner of the

18、 sheet and then the other so as to roll the sampleover and over at least 100 times. Temporarily seal the preparedstandard material in airtight containers during the standardiza-tion procedure prior to sealing small portions as standardsamples in vials. Using the 203-mm (8-in.) diameter sievesfrom 3.

19、7, perform the dry sieving tests, following the proce-dure of Test Method C 184. Repeat the test three times and usethe average of the amounts passing, expressed as percent, asthe standard value of the sample. Use this standard sample tocalibrate the wet sieves. Place the entire sample in airtight v

20、ialsas soon as possible to prevent changes due to humidity. Vialsshall be prepared in denominations such as to contain approxi-mately 50 g for standardizing the 300-m (No. 50); 25 g for the150-m (No. 100); or 10 g for the 75-m (No. 200) sieve.5.

Record the weightand transfer the sample quantitatively to a clean dry wet test300-m (No. 50), 150-m (No. 100), or 75-m (No. 200) sieveand proceed as directed in Section

22、 6. The sieve correctionfactor is the difference between the test residue obtained andthe residue value indicated by the standardization tests ofSection 4, expressed as a percentage of the test residue. Thisfactor is expressed as follows:C 5Rs 3 Wt/100! 2 RtRt3 100 (1)where:C = sieve correction fact

23、or (which may be either plus orminus), %,Rt= test residue from sample retained on sieve, g,Rs= standard residue retained on sieve, %, andWt= weight of test sample, g.5.1.1 Example of Determination of Wet Sieve Calibration:% Residue on 150-m (No. 100) sieve forstandard sample, Rs= 5.40%Residue from t

Procedure for Wet Sieving6.1 Weigh the sample to the nearest 0.01 g using approxi-mately 50 g for a 300-m (No. 50), 25 g for a 150-m (No.100), or 10 g for a 75-m (No. 200) determination. Record theweight and transfer the sample quantitatively to a

26、clean drysieve. Wet the sample thoroughly with a gentle stream of water.Remove the sieve from under the nozzle and adjust thepressure on the spray nozzle to 69 6 4 kPa (10 6 0.5 psi).Return the sieve to its position under the nozzle and wash for112 min, moving the sieve in the spray with a circular

27、motionin a horizontal plane at the rate of one motion per second.Every portion of the screen should be sprayed during eachcircular motion of the sieve. Hold the sieve so that the bottomof the spray nozzle extends 13 mm (0.5 in.) below the top ofthe sieve frame. Immediately after removing the sieve f

28、rom thespray, rinse once with about 50 cm3of distilled or deionizedwater using caution not to lose any of the residue. Gently blotthe lower surface of the screen cloth with a damp, clean cloth.Dry the sieve and residue in an oven or over a hot plate (seeNote 2), supporting the sieve in such a manner

29、 that air maypass freely beneath it. Cool the sieve; then brush the residuefrom the sieve, and weigh on a balance to the nearest 0.01 g(see Note 3).NOTE 2Care should be taken when heating the sieve, so that anysolder that may have been used in assembling the sieve does not soften.NOTE 3Prior to each

30、 use, dip the sieve in dilute acetic acid (1+6) ordilute HCl (1+10) and immediately rinse it with distilled or deionizedwater to remove particles lodged in the meshes. Recalibrate the sieve after25 determinations.7. Calculation7.1 Calculate the fineness of the material as follows:Rc5 Rt/W! 3 100 1 C

Therefore, users are advised to develop their ownlaboratory precision.8.2 Since there is no accepted reference material suitable fordetermining any bias that may be associated with this testme

DRY SIEVE CORRECTION FACTORSA1.1 300-m (No. 50) and 150-m (No. 100) 203-mm (8-in.) Diameter SievesA1.1.1 The particle size distribution curve of cement at the300

35、-m (No. 50) and 150-m (No. 100) is level in this region,and therefore it is felt that no sieve correction is necessary.A1.2 75-m (No. 200) 203-mm (8-in.) Diameter SieveA1.2.1 A 75-m (No. 200) sieve may or may not need to bestandardized, depending on the accuracy required. For internallaboratory use

36、where changes in fineness are of more impor-tance than the absolute value, it is not necessary to standardizethe dry sieve. The sieve cloth, as a minimum, should conformto Specification E 11. A correction factor should be establishedwhere accuracy is desired in order to compare results betweenlabora

37、tories.A1.2.2 To determine the percentage of test material passingthrough a nominal 75-m (No. 200) sieve, two additionalsieves are needed: a 90-m (No. 170) and a 63-m (No. 230)sieve. Using NBS SRM No 1004 (No. 140-No. 400 sieve),Glass Bead Standard, determine the effective openings of eachof the thr

38、ee sieves.NOTE A1.1NBS SRM No. 1004 tends to blind the screen during useand the beads lodged in the meshes are difficult to remove. Tapping theframe of the sieve and gentle brushing of the cloth from the underside willaid in recovering all the beads and keep the bead loss down toapproximately 50 mg.

39、A1.2.3 Select a test material. It is important that the samplefor calibration be of the same typical fineness as the range inwhich the sieve is to be used. The use of the same test materialselected for the 75-m (No. 200) dry sieve calibration isencouraged (see 4.2). Determine the percent residue of

40、the testmaterial on each of the three sieves, following the procedure ofTest Method C 184. Plot the average percent residues versusthe effective opening. The percent residue at the nominalopening of the No. 200 sieve can be read off the plot and thedifference between the actual obtained residue and

41、the nominalresidue at 75 m may be used algebraically as a sievecorrection factor for that sieve, only in the same generalfineness area.A1.3 ExampleDetermination Of Sieve Correctionfactor for 75-m (No. 200) SieveA1.3.1 Using the SRM 1004, the following was determined:(a) Effective opening of nominal

43、ould if it were a 75-m opening, the correction, C,tobe applied to the residue in percent is 0.2%.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard.
