Principles of method if other than guideline:
A single test sieve separates a particular material into two fractions, of which one is retained by the sieving medium and the other of which passes through its apertures.The apparatus Analysette 3 is a shaking sieve system in the classic sense, with an electromagnetic drive in the base, which vibrates the sieves vertically.
