Mini Hand Sieves Set – Pocket Size

The composition of particles in terms of size and type (also called grain size distribution or texture) is one of the most important characteristics of soil, which is measued using a Mini Hand Sieves Set. It affects many soil properties, including ease of tillage, capillary conductivity, available moisture for plants, permeability, and compaction.

Determining particle size is also essential for assessing the availability of nutrients and other substances to flora and fauna, understanding how substances will behave in soil, and evaluating soil quality.

The mini hand sieves set is used to determine the particle size distribution of small soil samples, both in the laboratory and in the field.

This pocket-sized set includes several sieve discs (Ø 100 mm) with openings of 2.000, 1.000, 0.500, 0.250, 0.125, and 0.063 mm. It also comes with a lid and a receiver.
