Sieve Analysis and Grading Curves

Sieve analysis is a method used to determine the particle size distribution of aggregate materials. This process involves the following steps: The required quantity of dried sample of aggregate is weighed. The weighed aggregates are sieved through a set of sieves with square openings arranged in descending order of aperture size, with the largest mesh on top (Column 1 of Table 1). The stack of sieves is shaken or vibrated to facilitate the sorting of particles by size. After sieving for a...

Electrical Penetration Graph (EPG) is a well-established technique for studying the feeding behavior of stylet-bearing insects. Here we show a new application of EPG as a non-invasive tool for the acquisition of intracellular electrophysiology recordings of sieve elements (SEs), the cells that form the phloem vasculature in plants.

The main focus of this protocol is to efficiently isolate viable primary glomeruli cultures with minimal contaminants for use in a variety of downstream applications. The isolated glomeruli retain structural relationships between component cell types and can be cultured ex vivo for a short time.
FAQs
The descending arrangement allows larger particles to remain on the upper sieves while progressively smaller particles pass through to lower levels. This organizes the sample into size fractions that can be measured separately. The resulting pattern of retained material shows how broadly or narrowly the particles are distributed across the tested size range.
After separation, engineers determine how much sample remains on each sieve and use those retained masses to calculate the material’s size distribution. Each sieve represents a calibrated opening range, so the measurements indicate the proportion of particles associated with different sizes. This quantitative gradation result supports comparisons with material specifications and engineering requirements.
Shaking moves particles across the sieve surfaces and encourages those small enough to pass through an opening to continue downward. ASTM sieve analysis may use manual or mechanical shaking, depending on the procedure and available equipment. Effective movement is important because incomplete separation can alter the mass retained on individual sieves and affect the reported gradation.
A representative sample allows the measured retained masses to reflect the broader material rather than an unusual portion of it. If the sample does not capture the material’s actual particle-size composition, the calculated distribution may mislead engineering decisions. Sampling quality therefore affects how confidently sieve results can be used for design evaluation, specification checks, and quality control.
The procedure begins with a representative granular sample and a stacked set of calibrated sieves arranged from larger to smaller openings. The sample is placed into the stack and shaken manually or mechanically so particles separate by size. Engineers then determine the mass retained on each sieve and calculate the resulting particle-size distribution for interpretation.
Sieve results reveal the gradation of soils, aggregates, powders, and other granular materials. Engineers use that information to assess material quality, control concrete and asphalt mixtures, evaluate geotechnical behavior, and verify manufacturing specifications. In each case, the measured distribution helps determine whether the material is consistent with the performance, design, or quality-control requirements of its intended use.
