Procedure10.1 Dry Screening:10.1.1 For Samples Containing Less than 10 % Passing aNo. 200 (75-m) SieveNest the selected sieves and fit a panbelow

18、 the bottom sieve. Place the material which passed theNo. 4 (4.75-mm) sieve from 7.2, in the top sieve. Cover andclamp the nested sieves in the mechanical shaker and shake forthe time interval specified in 10.1.3.10.1.2 For Samples Containing More than 10 % Passing aNo. 200 (75-m) SieveWash the mate

Dry the sieve fractions inaccordance with 10.2.4.2 and process the retained fraction inaccordance with 10.1.1.10.1.3 Leng

20、th of Screening Time or End PointThe screen-ing time or end point is when additional periods of shaking failto change the results on any sieve used in the test by more than0.3 %. The screening time may vary from 3 to 30 min or moredepending on the type of material. Determine the exact time foreach m

21、aterial experimentally.10.1.4 WeighingRemove the clamp and cover. Transferthe contents of each sieve to a tared pan, tapping and brushingthe sieves to remove any lodged particles. Record the weight ofeach sieve fraction.10.1.4.1 Weigh and record material washed on a No. 200(75-m) sieve, as described

22、 in 10.1.2 and submitted to wetscreening as described in 10.2, the same as in the other sieves.10.1.5 CalculationSum the weights of each of the sievefractions. The total shall be within 1 % of the weight of theoriginal test sample or the analysis must be repeated from 7.1with another test sample. Th

23、e weight of the test sample used forcalculation is the total of the sieve fractions. Calculate thepercent retained on each sieve as follows:Material retained, % 5 Wr/Wt! 3 100 (1)where:Wr= mass retained on each sieve, andWt= total mass of all sieve fractions.Calculate the percent passing the finest

24、sieve as follows:Material passing, % 5 Wp/Wt! 3 100 (2)where:Wp= mass passing the finest sieve, retained on a pan orfilter, andWt= total mass of all sieve fractions.Obtain the percent cumulative by adding each percentretained on each sieve as the series progresses.10.1.6 Report:10.1.6.1 Report the f

Fromthe plots, the percentages remaining on any set of ope

27、nical shaker. Similarly,a nest of screens can be used preferably through use of aspecially adapted mechanical shaker.10.2.2 Washing of a sample on a single sieve causes thefinest particles to be removed quickly from the larger or coarserparticles. It also has the advantage of breaking up aggregates

28、offine particles and removing the slime coatings from coarseparticles, making a product more amenable to dry sieveanalysis. The liquid used for washing is generally water, but forspecific cases some other nonreacting liquid can be used. Drythe retained fraction and return to the sieve or nest of sie

To accomplish the results re-quired, a set volume of liquid cannot be determined to meet allconditions, but through experimentation for specific cases,such requirements c

Wash the materialon the screen in accordance with 10.2. Continue washing untilthe liquid passing the sieve is clear.10.2.4.2 DryingWash the material on t

Recover the materialfrom the retained washings by using a filter press or byevaporation, then dry in an oven at 110 6 5C.10.2.4.3 Weighing, Calculation, and ReportTransfer thecontents of the sieve to a tared pan as described in 10.1.4 andweigh.

Place the materialpassing the No. 4 (4.75-mm) sieve from 7.2 into the top sieve.Place a sieve cover equ

Start the mechanical shaker and turn onthe liquid supply. Continue the washing until the dischargeliquid is clear.

34、Turn off the liquid supply and allow the shakerto continue operation for a few minutes.E27603210.2.5.2 Remove the sieves from the shaker, and dry thesieve fractions in accordance with 10.2.4.2.10.2.5.3 Weighing, Calculation, and ReportTransfer thecontents of the sieves to tared pans as described in

35、10.1.4 andweigh. Calculate and report the data as described in 10.1.5 and10.1.6.11. Precision and Bias11.1 PrecisionIt is generally agreed that errors in screen-ing arise from the way in which screening is done. Selection ofthe sample loading of the sieves, sieves themselves, and thefinal weighing,

36、all influence the reproducibility or accuracy ofscreening. Some particle wear occurs, but for the No. 4 andfiner sieves, this wear is usually insignificant. Brittleness,hardness, weight of charge, and the mode of operation of themechanical shaker influence slightly the results of the test. It isagre

37、ed, however, that normally any variations due to thesefactors would not effectively alter the results of the test. Thesize and shape of the particles significantly influence theprobability of passing when sizes of aperture and particle areclose. Screening time is important, but it cannot be said tha

38、t aspecific time of screening should be used for all types ofmaterials. End point of time of screening for different materialsis to be established by experimentation.11.2 If the sample is known to contain naturally occurringferromagnetic material, it shall be demagnetized in a 60-Hzfield of not less

39、 than 300 Oe.11.3 It is not practicable to specify the precision of theprocdure in this test method because the precision is related tothe quantity of sample tested, the distribution of particles andthe shape of the particles, which vary for each type of materialtested.11.4 BiasNo information on the

40、 accuracy of this testmethod is known. The accuracy of this test method asmeasured by calibration of sieves using standard referencematerials, is not directly transferable to metal-bearing ores andrelated materials.12.
