Riffle Sample Divider
Product Code : EL-ATLE-10483
Riffle Sample Divider (code EL-ATLE-10483) is a sample divider made from a sheet metal box on legs, used to split a sample into separate portions through a row of chutes. The chutes are of equal width and discharge the material alternately in opposite directions into separate pans, they are steep enough for the material to flow rapidly, and the divider is supplied in a range of sizes from 7 mm to 75 mm.

What Is the Riffle Sample Divider Used For?
Riffling is a standard way of cutting a bulk sample down to test size while keeping each part representative of the whole. The operator spreads the sample evenly along the top of the chutes, which send alternate strips of material to the pans on either side; the contents of one pan are kept and riffled again as many times as needed, while the material in the other pan is held back as a reserve. The divider is chosen with a chute size that suits the largest particles in the material. The standard listed for it is IS 1607-1960.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of riffle dividers required.
- Size — the divider size needed, within the range of 7 mm to 75 mm, to suit the largest particles to be divided.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Riffle Sample Divider split a sample?
Material poured across the top runs down a series of equal-width chutes that discharge alternately in opposite directions, so it is shared between separate pans on each side.
Which sizes are available?
The divider is supplied in a range of sizes from 7 mm to 75 mm, so a unit can be matched to the particle size of the material.
How is it built?
It is a sheet metal box mounted on legs, with chutes steep enough to let the material flow rapidly into the pans below.
Why use a riffle divider rather than scooping a portion?
A scooped portion tends to take too many fine or coarse particles, whereas riffling shares every part of the sample evenly between the pans, keeping each half representative.
Which standard is listed for this divider?
The standard listed for it is IS 1607-1960, an Indian Standard dealing with methods for test sieving.
