Question

If the mean sieve size is 8 mm, what size particles will be considered as flaky:

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Below is the answer:

Explanation:

Sieve is a utensil that has frame of either metal, plastic or wood with holes in the center that is used to separate large and tiny particles from each other.

For any particles to be flaky it has to be less than the dimension of the sieve i.e 3/5 of its size.

The particle that has less than 14.4 mm thickness and 4.8 mm thickness is a flaky particles will qualify as flaky since the mean size of the sieve is 8mm.

Answer 2

4.8 mm is the size of the flaky particle.

Given:

Size of mean sieve size = 8 mm

Explanation:

The size of the flaky size particles are 60% of the mean size of the particle.

The mean size is average size of the passing particles and sieve size are retained.

⇒ 8 × 60/100 = 4.8

When the size of the particle is 4.8 mm, then the particles will be considered as flaky.
