1.1These test methods cover the measurement of the particle size of plastic materials in the powdered, granular, or pelleted forms in which they are commonly supplied. As these test methods utilize dry sieving, the lower limit of measurement is considered to be about 38 μm (No. 400 sieve). For smaller particle sizes, sedimentation test methods are recommended.
1.2Two test methods are described:
1.2.1Test Method A—This test method uses multiple sieves selected to span the particle size of the material. This method is used to determine the mean particle diameter and particle size distribution.
1.2.2Test Method B—This test method is an abbreviated version of Test Method A conducted with a few specific sieves. This test method determines “percent passing” or “percent retained” on a given sieve. Test Method B is applicable to materials which do not have a normal particle size distribution such as pellets and cubes.
1.3The values stated in SI units shall be considered standard for dimensions of the wire cloth openings and the diameter of the wires used in the wire cloth. The values stated in inch-pound units shall be considered standard with regard to the sieve frames.
