Rotap sieve shakers are used for laboratory testing of particle size and size distribution in samples of solid materials. Used for soils, geological materials, alloys, and a host of other solid sample types that have individual particle sizes of from over 5" down to 20 microns. Testing is accomplished by stacking a set of sieves of various sizes on top of each other, where the larger-hole sieves are on top and smaller-hole sieves are on bottom, in decreasing order. A solid pan is at the bottom to catch all sample particles that can pass through the smallest sieve's openings. The Rotap sive shaker is an apparatus that holds the entire stack of testing sieves, mechanically shaking/rotating them in a circular motion and tapping the top of the stack at the same time (this, Rotap). These actions help the various sized particles to be able to move through the stack of sieves until they rest on a sieve whose openings are too small for them to pass through. After a designated period of time of this mechanical shaking/tapping, the screens are removed from the Rotap, and each sieves contents are weighed up and recorded individually. From this data set, the % retained on each sieve is used to classify the size fractions present in the sample.

Are used for what in a sieve which size plates?
Sieve plates are cross walls separating the cells in the phloem and have lots of minute pores. These cross-walls look like a sieve and so are called sieve plates. The holes in the sieve plates allows rapid flow of manufactured food substances through the sieve tubes.
What is western blot shaker?
Blotting shaker is a shaker like a normal shaker, which shakes the things on the top of it. They are used for keeping the blots in antibody solution during incubation. Western blot is an analytical techniques used to detect proteins.
What is the meaning to sieve?
A sieve is a kitchen tool. It is for say if i had pasta than i would put the cooked pasta in it and the waterwould drain out because the sieve has little holes in the bottom
When was Earth Shaker Rock created?
Earth Shaker Rock was created on 1999-09-20.
If you pour rock salt over a sieve will it go through?
No, rock salt, being larger in size than the holes in the sieve, will not go through the sieve. The sieve will only allow smaller particles or substances to pass through, while retaining larger ones.
How does the sieve shaker work?

What are the laboratory apparatus for sieve analysis?
sieve shaker,dry sample of aggregate,pam and cover,weighing machine
What are Test Sieve Shakers?
Suppose you have a solution with particles floating in it. You can use a test sieve to measure the size of the particles. The shaker mentioned in the question shakes the sieve in the controlled way so the particles can be measured accurately.
