Sieve Set 200mm for Sand FM: 8 Pieces Per Set – Complete Guide

Based on your query, I’ll break down the Sieve Set 200mm for Sand FM (Fineness Modulus) – 8 Pieces Per Set

Diameter is 200mm (8″), allowing ~500g samples. Total pieces: 8 (6 sieves + lid + pan).

Standard Composition of the Set

This set focuses on fine sieves for sand (down to 75μm). Here’s the typical breakdown:

Piece No.	Sieve Size (mm/μm)	US Sieve No. (ASTM)	Purpose in FM Analysis
1	4.75 mm	No. 4	Retains coarse sand
2	2.36 mm	No. 8	Medium-coarse sand
3	1.18 mm	No. 16	Medium sand
4	0.600 mm (600 μm)	No. 25	Fine-medium sand
5	0.300 mm (300 μm)	No. 50	Fine sand
6	0.150 mm (150 μm)	No. 100	Very fine sand
7	Pan (Receiver)	—	Collects <150 μm fines (not used in FM calc)
8	Lid	—	Covers top to prevent spillage

• Material: Brass frame (rigid, nestable) with woven wire mesh (brass or SS). Weight per sieve: ~300g.
• Origin/Assembly: Often UK/India-manufactured mesh, assembled in Bangladesh or India for cost-effectiveness.
• Compliance: Meets ISO 3310-1 tolerances (±3% opening variation). No calibration certificate in basic sets.

How to Use for Sand FM Calculation

1. Sample Prep: Dry 500–1000g sand at 110°C.
2. Stack Sieves: Arrange from coarsest (top) to finest (bottom) on a shaker (10–15 min).
3. Weigh Retained: Record weight on each sieve.
4. Calculate FM: Sum cumulative % retained on sieves 1–6, divide by 100.

Example with Hypothetical Data (1000g sample):

Sieve Size	Weight Retained (g)	% Retained	Cumulative % Retained
4.75 mm	50	5	5
2.36 mm	100	10	15
1.18 mm	150	15	30
0.600 mm	200	20	50
0.300 mm	250	25	75
0.150 mm	150	15	90
Pan	100	10	— (excluded)
Total	1000g	100%
