Definition
Sieving means screening grounds through a defined aperture to remove or isolate specific particle fractions.
Why It Matters
Sieving can narrow PSD, reduce fines, and change flow or clarity, but only if the removed fraction is defined and tracked.
Preferred
- State sieve size and the removed or retained fraction.
Avoid
- Do not say only “sifted” without defining the threshold.
