How to Perform a Soil Sieve Analysis (Step-by-Step Guide)
Conducting a reliable particle size distribution (PSD) test requires a standardized procedure to ensure repeatability and accuracy in the laboratory. Follow these core steps for effective soil testing:
Sample Preparation:
Air-dry the representative soil sample thoroughly and reduce it to the required test size using the standard quartering method.Sieve Stack Arrangement: Clean the sieves and stack them in descending order—positioning the sieve with the largest aperture at the top and the smallest aperture at the bottom, with a solid collection pan placed at the base.
Mechanical or Manual Shaking:
Pour the prepared soil sample into the top sieve, secure the lid, and place the entire stack on an electromagnetic or mechanical sieve shaker for 15 to 30 minutes to guarantee complete and thorough separation.
Weighing and Calculation:
Carefully weigh the amount of soil retained on each individual sieve and the bottom pan. Use these measurements to calculate the percentage passing for each level and plot your final soil gradation curve.
Advantages of Soil Sieve
With one-time stamping forming
The sieving frame is smooth
No leakage
Simple operation and low noise
High screening accuracy and remarkable sieving effect
Small body
Eeay to operate
Standard Soil Sieve Specifications & Size Chart
For accurate geotechnical engineering and soil gradation analysis, selecting the right sieve aperture and frame size is critical. Below is the standard specification guide for both coarse and fine soil test sieves, manufactured to comply with ASTM E11, ISO 3310-1, and AASHTO standards.
