Dry Sieve Test Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : JA-GT-9861
The Dry Sieve Test Apparatus (SKU JA-GT-9861) determines the apparent opening size (AOS), also called equivalent opening size (EOS), of geotextiles - an index of the largest openings through the fabric. The geotextile is clamped in a sieving frame in place of a wire mesh, and rounded particles of known sizes are sieved through it to find the size for which 5% or less by weight passes. Pore size controls how well a geotextile retains soil. It is supplied by JaincoLab for geosynthetics laboratories.
Specifications
The apparatus holds the geotextile in a sieving frame with a special clamping arrangement for dry sieving of graded rounded particles; frame size, shaker and particle fractions are not listed in the product data and are confirmed on the quotation.
