48 ST SIEVE SHAKER ST SIEVE SHAKER The ST Sieve Shaker is a budget, portable, 8-inch (203mm) sieve shaker designed to outperform other comparably priced equipment. The 1/4-hp unit is widely accepted by state transportation departments for highway materials testing. Back and forth lateral motion is combined with up and down and tilting motions to cause test material to travel in an orbit on the sieve surfaces. This forced travel assures full use of sieve mesh area without precise leveling of the tester. The ST Sieve Shaker is recommended primarily for No. 4 to No. 200 size range, but may be used with larger material sizes when specifications for sieve loading and sample quantities permit. The Tester holds 6 full-height sieves and pan or 13 half-height sieves and pan. Clamp bar with attached cover secures sieves. The 15-minute timer has an adjustable knob-stop for improved repeatability, and a "hold" feature for continuous running. Freestanding operation is normal, but may be mounted via holes provided in bottom end flanges. Used to mechanically agitate the sieves to provide effective sample grading in the sieve analysis. This unit provides both horizontal and vertical action for efficient sieving.

51 CPSA COMPUTERIZED PARTICLE SIZE ANALYSER The Computerized Particle Size Analyzer (CPA) is new technology that is being used now in the foundry industry as an alternate to sieve analysis. The sand is poured in, and it travels down a vibratory feeder. From there, it cascades down into a pan, and as it falls, a CCD line scan camera views the particle profiles many times per second. The unit then produces the data which includes AFS grain fineness number and sieve distribution, surface area, sphericity (angularity), and more. The test takes about 3 minutes or less depending on sample size. This unit is also used in foundries for sieve analysis on shot. The raw machine data (not converted to Sieve Analysis data) can also be viewed, and is an even more accurate measure of the particle size and distribution. This is due to the fact that with the sieve analysis, the material retained on each sieve consists of a range of sizes between the sieve above and that of the one below. In contrast, the CPA measures the actual particle sizes which may fall in between the sizes retained on each of the sieves. Units are also available that can measure particle streams on a real time basis, and can control the blending of two materials to produce a final product of a certain size distribution. 51
