About G. I. Frame sieves 300 & 450 mm dia (powder coated)
Specification:
A sieve, or sifter, is a device for separating wanted elements from unwanted material or for characterizing the particle size distribution of a sample. This is called a sieve analysis (or gradation test) the particle size distribution of a granular material.
Labtest offers a wide range of high quality testing sieves which are used in all types of sieve testing applications, from sampling and classification of soils, aggregates and other powdered and granular materials. Utest testing sieves are of the highest quality to ensure consistent fit, accurate specifications and durable construction.
Woven wire cloth and perforated plate sieves are supplied in 200 mm and 300 mm frame diameters in various nominal aperture sizes suitable for several applications and standards.
Wet washing sieves are used for wet testing of various materials enabling to wash the fines through the sieve without losing any of the sample. Available in 200 mm diameter with 100 mm and 200 mm deep models. They are made with only the highest quality materials and are available in diameter sizes of 100, 200, 300 and 450 mm or in 4, 8, 12 or 18 inches. They can be supplied with aperture sizes ranging from 125 mm down to 20 microns in full or half height
versions. Woven wire mesh sieves are available in frame materials of either brass or galverized steel
Sizes Available (in mm): 125, 106, 100, 90, 80, 75, 63, 53, 50, 45, 40, 37.5, 31.5, 26.5, 25, 22.4, 20, 19,16,14, 13.2, 12.5, 11.2, 10, 9.5, 8, 6.7, 6.3, 5.6, 4.75,4.0, 3.35, 2.36, 1.18, 1.00. Lid & receiver
Versatile Mesh ChoicesChoose from stainless steel or brass mesh materials in standard ISO and ASTM mesh sizes, ensuring suitability for diverse applications from fine powders to coarse granules. Mesh sizes range from 4 to 400, covering a broad spectrum of particle analysis requirements. Accuracy is maintained at 1%, with each mesh type manufactured as per international testing standards.
Durable and Corrosion Resistant DesignThe frame, made from galvanized iron and finished with a grey or black powder coating, offers exceptional corrosion resistance even in demanding laboratory or industrial conditions. The smooth exterior and edge thickness of 9-12 mm combine to deliver both robustness and comfortable handling during repetitive use.
Reliable Stackable ConstructionThese sieves are designed to be stacked, enabling sequential size separation and efficient specimen processing. Optional lids and receivers help manage samples with ease, and the sieves' manual operation allows user-defined frequency and control, suitable for tabletop setup in almost any testing environment.
FAQ's of G. I. Frame sieves 300 & 450 mm dia (powder coated):
Q: How are the G.I. Frame Sieves used for particle size analysis?
A: The sieves are manually stacked and shaken or tapped, allowing particles to pass through the mesh openings based on their size. This process separates samples into fractions for accurate particle size determination.
Q: What mesh materials and sizes can be ordered with these sieves?
A: Sieves can be supplied with stainless steel or brass mesh, available in ISO or ASTM standard sizes ranging from 4 to 400, tailored to your specific application needs at the time of order.
Q: Where can these sieves be applied in industry and laboratories?
A: G.I. Frame Sieves are suitable for pharmaceutical, chemical, soil, cement, and food processing laboratories, and can be used in industrial and field environments requiring particle separation and filtration.
Q: What is the process for cleaning and maintaining the sieves?
A: To clean the sieves, use water, a mild detergent, and a soft brush. The powder-coated frame resists corrosion, ensuring longevity even with frequent cleaning and use.
Q: When is stackable sieve operation beneficial in laboratory settings?
A: Stacking multiple sieves is beneficial when analyzing samples with a range of particle sizes, as it enables efficient multi-stage separation and saves time during processing.
Q: What are the benefits of the powder-coated G.I. frame design?
A: The powder-coated finish provides high corrosion resistance, a smooth exterior surface, and robust durability, ensuring the sieves withstand harsh laboratory environments and frequent handling.
Q: What accessories are available, and how do they enhance usage?
A: Optional sieve lids and receivers can be purchased separately, helping secure samples and collect finer fractions during sieving, improving workflow and sample integrity.
