1 Grain Size Distribution – Sieve Analysis Introduction The grain size distribution is a representation of the approximate distribution of soil grain sizes for a soil. The sieve analysis‚ also called mechanical method‚ measures the dry mass of soil retained on each sieve in a stack of sieves‚ where the sieve opening sizes vary from the largest to smallest going from the top to the bottom of the stack. All the soil particles retained on a particular sieve will have an ‘intermediate size’ or ‘average

2. Fewer processes are performed. 3. Drying step is eliminated. 4. Safe application to the environment. 5. Uniform distribution of the particles. Disadvantages of hot melt process: 1. It is a high energy input process. 2. The process could not be applied to thermolabile drugs. Rumpf iii-iv classified the mechanisms of agglomeration binding into: 1. Nucleation of primary particles (Figure 1A): as the system temperature raised to about 2/3 of the melting temperature of solids - by heat introduced

EXPERIMENT TITLE : PARTICLE SIZE ANALYSIS (SIEVING METHOD) OBJECTIVE : To determine the particle size distribution of a soil sample by sieving process. This analysis can be used to predict ground water movement and soil classification. THEORY : Particle size distribution analysis is used in engineering soil classification universally. This is because the particle size plays an important role in the selection of soil in construction. It is also used to predict soil water movement. This analysis

aggregate sample only. In determining the SSD and oven-dry weights needed for calculation of specific gravities‚ a conical mold was used to reach an SSD condition and the sample was later dried in an oven. Sieve analysis determined the particle size distribution by sifting the aggregate through a series of eight sieves of different sixes by use of a mechanical shaker. The results found are that the aggregate used has a Bulk Specific Gravity (SSD) of 2.552‚ which indicates a normal weight‚ and

grinding. INTRODUCTION Indeed the ball milling means‚ the reduction of particles to smaller sizes with the help of a ball mill. It can be done in two ways. They are‚\ Dry milling Wet milling Generally‚ this has porcelain or steel ball as the grinding media. Commiution is occurred by several methods in the ball mill grinding. They are compression‚ impact and shear between the moving grinding media and the particles. The rate of this depends on some factors. These are mainly three categories

sample; the bulk-sample may often be subdivided to produce a sample of appropriate size for testing. Further division may be carried out in the laboratory to produce the test portion for the use in a particular test. A referee-sample is that portion reserved for testing in the event of a dispute about test results. 2. Sample size and sampling frequency Testing standard for the materials specifies the sample size for test as well as the sampling method and sampling frequency. Therefore‚ in actual

analysis is used to determine the grain-size distribution of a soil which is similar to the sieve analysis done in an earlier lab. Hydrometer analysis can be combined with the sieve analysis to determine the amounts (percents) of fines (silts and clays) in a sample. The hydrometer analysis doesn’t require the soil to be passed through a series of sieves like in the sieve analysis. The analysis measures the rate of sedimentation. The larger the particle‚ the quicker it will fall out of sedimentation
