Scope

GB/T 40944-2021 is the English-translated version of 饲料粒度测定 几何平均粒度法.

GB/T 40944-2021 is a Chinese national method for measuring how finely a feed has been ground, expressed as its geometric mean diameter.

The sample is shaken on a vibrating machine through a stack of standard test sieves, the material retained on each sieve is weighed, and the geometric mean particle size is calculated from the particle size distribution.

The standard defines the geometric mean diameter, the size distribution curve and the sieving end point, and sets out the principle, the materials such as the rubber or silicone balls used to keep the sieves clear, the apparatus, the procedure and the calculation.

It applies to powdered and granular feed materials, feed additives and feed products produced by grinding or other processes. It was issued on 26 November 2021 and has applied since 1 June 2022.

Foreword

This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for Standardization Work Part 1: Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents" Drafting.

1 Scope

This document specifies the geometric mean particle size determination method of feed particle size.

This document is applicable to the determination of the particle size of powder and granular feed materials, feed additives and feed products processed by crushing or other methods.

2 Normative references

The content of the following documents constitutes an indispensable clause of this document through normative references in the text. Among them, dated quotations Only the version corresponding to the date is applicable to this document; for undated reference documents, the latest version (including all amendments) is applicable to this document.

3 Terms and definitions

The following terms and definitions defined in GB/T 5329 and GB/T 10647 apply to this document.

3.1 Geometric mean particle size

The particle size corresponding to a 50% probability in a particle size distribution curve is equivalent to the median particle size.

3.2 Size distribution curve

Graph showing the results of particle size analysis. [Source: GB/T 5329-2003, 2.4.5]

3.3 Screening endpoint

When the sieving is carried out to the point in time when the amount of sieving for further sieving is not enough to significantly change the sieving result. [Source: GB/T 5329-2003, 2.3.9, with modification]

4 Principle

Use the specified standard test sieve to screen the sample on the vibrating machine, determine the quality of the material retained on each layer of the sieve, and calculate the geometrical plane of the sample. Average particle size, etc.

5 Materials

5.1 Rubber ball or silica gel ball. 15mm~20mm in diameter, used to bounce to clean the screen and crush the fine powder agglomerates on the small aperture screen.
