Sieving • POWDER can be separatedinto various size fractions by vibrating sieve loaded with sample to enable the particles of size less than that of the mesh openings to pass throughand the over size to remain in the sieve. • Dry sieving is adopted for free flowing powder samples of size range varying from e.g. 4mm down to 25μm. Physical Pharmacy 2
Sieves • A standard test sieve is generally made of a woven wire mesh cloth • specified wire thickness with square openings • Standard sieves are made according to recommended norms to maintain opening size interval between successive sieves. • The ratio between successive sieves is kept as a constant such as 1.414 and hence the sieve size varies in geometric progression. • fixed to a rectangular or circular frame Physical Pharmacy 2

Interpretation of Sieve Results • From the % cumulative weight, the mean diameter can be obtained i.e. • d(0.5) – the diameter at which 50% of the samples, based on weight falls below it. Cumulative weight (%) Weight (%) Physical Pharmacy 2
Microscopyhttp://www.mos.org/sln/SEM/index.html The deer tick, is about the size of a freckle. To fly, moths must be light. A close-up of the Cecropia Moth scale shows that it is mostly air, adding very little weight to the moth The shells of radiolarians, single-celled animals. Physical Pharmacy 2
