Sieve Analysis Dry - SADR

Notes

A set of numbers representing the percentage of dry material particles retained on each sieve in a stack of interlocked sieves with successively finer openings. The stack of sieves is vibrated in a shaker until all material has filtered down through. The test should specify maximum water content of powder, shaking time, settings for shaker (if appropriate), and what sieve series was used (i.e. US Standard, Tyler). Should also specify whether numbers refer to % on the sieve or % passing the sieve.

For a more detailed test see SIEV. It is our opinion that a water washing test is more effective and accurate.
