Sieve Load Previous HitEquationsNext Hit and Estimates of Sample Size

Norman C. Janke

ABSTRACT

A semi-empirical expression for sieve loads is W (gms) = 4(^DgrO) Bx1.15, where x is the sieve aperture in mm and (^DgrO) is the phi interval between sieves. B, the "acceptable" load on an x = 1.00 mm sieve, whether it is used or not, is given by CsGKacP; G is the weight density (g/cm3); K is a shape factor; a and c are representative long and short particle intercepts measured in ram; P is the number of finer near-mesh particles, and Cs is a parameter that varies with the internal diameter of the sieve. Previous HitEquationsTop for sieve loads can also be an aid in estimating sample size.
