Test sieve 08.05.04

wire mesh

The mini hand sieve set is used to determine the particle size distribution of small quantities of soil. This mini set is pocket-sized and contains several sieve discs interchangeable sieve discs with up to 6 different sieve openings Including lid and receiver Pocked-sized Description The composition of particles, sizes and types (also called grain size distribution or texture) is one of the most important characteristics of the soil. This influences many properties of the soil such as for instance the ease of tillage, the capillary conductivity of a soil, the available moisture (for plants), the permeability of a soil, compaction, etc. Furthermore the determination of the particle size is essential for the assessment of the availability of substances for the flora and fauna, the behavior of a substance in the soil and the determination of the quality of the soil The mini hand sieves set is used for the determination of the particle size distribution of small quantities of soil in the laboratory as well as in the field. Applications Geotechnical soil research Soil physical laboratory research Erosion research Irrigation research Soil stability research Water or air permeability research in the lab Set contains Interchangeable sieve discs with mesh rim of Ø 100 millimetres with various sieve apertures (6 pieces): 2.0, 1.0, 0.500, 0.250, 0.125 and 0.063 millimetres Lid and receiver Brush Storage bag
