Wet Sieve Shaker

The objective of the wet sieve test is to obtain basic index information about the soil, that can be used to estimate strength and permeability. It is the primary form of classification for granular soils.

There are some materials which, when tested dry, produce less than accurate particle analysis results. If the material is not soluble in water and reproducible results are difficult to obtain, then wet testing may be the method required to produce accurate data. This kit offers an alternative to hand wet wash sieving using a single tall-frame wet wash sieve. It has been specifically designed for use with the Weiber wet Ro-Tap sieve shaker and a stack of standard full-height testing sieves.
