- Our Test Sieves have been completely designed, fabricated, assembled & strictly quality-checked in Bangladesh.
To use a 200mm Sieve Set for determining the Fineness Modulus (FM) of sand, you need to follow a standardized sieve analysis procedure. This test helps evaluate the particle size distribution of the sand, which is critical for concrete mix design and quality control.
Equipment Needed:
- Sieve set (200 mm diameter) with standard sieve sizes: 4.75 mm, 2.36 mm, 1.18 mm, 600 µm (0.6 mm), 300 µm (0.3 mm), 150 µm (0.15 mm), 75 µm (0.075 mm), Pan (for bottom catch)
- Weighing balance (accurate to at least 0.1 g)
- Sample of oven-dried sand (~500g – 1000g)
- Sieve shaker (optional but recommended)
⚙️ Step-by-Step Procedure:
1. Prepare the Sample
-
Take a representative dry sample of sand (~500g to 1000g).
-
Record the total weight (W) of the sample.
2. Stack the Sieves
-
Arrange the 200 mm sieves in order:
-
Top: 4.75 mm
-
Then: 2.36 mm → 1.18 mm → 600 µm → 300 µm → 150 µm → 75 µm
-
Bottom: Pan
-
3. Sieve the Sample
-
Place the sand on the top (4.75 mm) sieve.
-
Cover and shake for 10–15 minutes using a mechanical shaker (or manually).
-
After sieving, carefully collect and weigh the amount retained on each sieve.
4. Record the Weights
-
Record the individual weight retained on each sieve.
-
Calculate the cumulative retained and cumulative % retained for each sieve.
