Noun
/ˈtɛstɪŋ siːv ˈʃeɪkər/
A testing-sieve shaker is a laboratory apparatus used to separate particles of various sizes by using screens or sieves. It is commonly used in industries like pharmaceuticals, food processing, and materials science to ensure the correct particle size distribution of samples.
The term is not frequently used in everyday conversation; it is more commonly found in technical, scientific, or industrial contexts, particularly related to testing and quality control processes.
The technician used a testing-sieve shaker to ensure that all the granules were of uniform size.
(Техник использовал сито-шейкер для тестирования, чтобы убедиться, что все гранулы одинакового размера.)
In our lab, a testing-sieve shaker is essential for particle size analysis of the samples we process.
(В нашей лаборатории сито-шейкер для тестирования важен для анализа размера частиц образцов, которые мы обрабатываем.)

(После пропускания материала через сито-шейкер для тестирования мы обнаружили, что значительная часть была слишком мелкой для нашего применения.)
The specific term "testing-sieve shaker" does not have widely recognized idiomatic expressions associated with it due to its technical nature. However, in professional contexts, several expressions incorporate the words "testing" or "sieve,” particularly when discussing quality assurance or analysis. Here are a few relevant expressions:
To test the waters: To explore something new or experimental before fully committing.
(Проверить воды): Проверить что-то новое или экспериментальное, прежде чем полностью погрузиться.)
Sifting through the details: To carefully examine or evaluate information.
(Просеивание через детали): Тщательно изучать или оценивать информацию.)
Separate the wheat from the chaff: To distinguish valuable or useful things from worthless ones.
(Отделить зерна от плевел): Отличить ценные или полезные вещи от бесполезных.)
The term "testing-sieve" originates from the English words "test," derived from the Old French "test" meaning trial or proof, and "sieve," from Old English "sifan," referring to a utensil for separating materials. The word "shaker" is derived from the verb "shake," meaning to move back and forth rapidly.
