Sieves

Product Code : SLE/GG/10

Sieves (Product Code: SLE/GG/10) is a set of 6 screen sieves with a bottom pan and lid, used to separate soil and rock samples into size fractions and grade them so students can work out the make-up of soil strata. Screen openings step down from 4 mm to 0.1 mm, giving a clear picture of how much coarse, medium and fine material a sample holds. Geography, earth science and environmental studies teachers use it for soil texture practicals and to follow up field trips. This piece of school lab equipment is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Typical Use

For a particle-size practical, students dry a soil sample, gently break up any lumps and place it on the coarsest screen. The sieves are then used as a stack — 4 mm at the top, finer meshes below and the pan at the bottom — with the lid in place to stop fine dust escaping while the stack is shaken. Each screen holds back the particles too large to pass, so the material left on every level can be tipped out, weighed and recorded as a share of the whole sample.

Comparing results from topsoil, subsoil and a stream-bed or quarry sample shows learners why some ground drains quickly while other ground stays waterlogged, and how layers in a soil profile differ. The same set supports environmental science projects on erosion and sediment sorting. After each use, tap the screens clean and brush them lightly from the underside so fine particles do not clog the 0.1 mm mesh.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which mesh sizes are in the set?
Six sieves: one each at 4 mm, 2 mm, 0.25 mm and 0.1 mm, and two at 0.5 mm. If your syllabus calls for a different combination, tell us through the contact page.

Are a pan and lid included?
Yes. The set includes a bottom pan to catch the finest material and a lid to cover the top sieve while shaking.

What is the frame material and diameter?
These details are not listed on this page. Please ask our team for the current construction and dimensions before ordering.

Can the sieves be used with wet soil?
Dry samples give the cleanest separation and are easier on the fine meshes. If you plan wet sieving, discuss it with us so we can advise on suitability.

Is a calibration certificate available?
This set is intended for teaching. If your laboratory needs documented aperture verification, discuss the requirement with us before ordering.

Do you supply multiple sets for schools and distributors?
Yes, ScienceLab supplies sets in quantity within India and to international markets. Share the number of sets and the delivery location for a quotation.
