How many types of sieves are there?

There are two main types of test sieves: dry test sieves and wet wash test sieves.

Dry Test Sieves are utilized when the particles being sieved are free-flowing and can easily pass through the sieve openings with simple mechanical agitation such as shaking or tapping. These sieves are ideal for materials that do not require additional assistance to separate or pass through the mesh.

Wet Wash Test Sieves are designed for situations where the particles need additional help to pass through the sieve openings. This assistance typically comes in the form of water, which is added to the sample to facilitate the separation of particles. This type of sieve is particularly useful for materials that tend to clump or stick together, making it difficult for them to pass through the sieve without the aid of a liquid medium.

Both types of sieves are crucial in various industries for particle size analysis, ensuring that materials meet specific standards or requirements. The choice between dry and wet wash sieves depends on the nature of the material being tested and the specific needs of the application.

Ready to elevate your particle size analysis with precision and ease? Choose the right test sieve for your application – whether it's our reliable dry test sieves for straightforward sieving or our effective wet wash test sieves for challenging materials.
