Screening changes the product you started with. Decide which fraction is being removed and how the remaining medium will be evaluated.

Removing fibres, chips or fines changes particle distribution and usable yield. The resulting material may no longer behave like the original tested grade.
01 / OBSERVE
02 / NARROW IT DOWN
Choose the closest observation for a suggested next check.
Check whether a supplier grade better matches the application. Evaluate the screened result as a new material.
Review whether the process is consistent and whether the retained mix still wets evenly.
Stop and identify the contamination. Screening alone does not establish that material is safe or suitable to use.
03 / TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Keep labelled samples of the original, retained and discarded fractions for comparison.
Do not carry the original physical-test claims over to a newly screened blend without validation.

Check whether the material was already layered at filling or has moved during handling. A fine layer can behave differently from the rest of the profile.
