8in Precision Electroform Sieve, Half Height, 60 um

8in Diameter ASTM Precision Electroformed Sieves

Electroformed sieve frames are stainless steel 8in (203.2mm) or 3in (76.2mm) diameter, full or half-height sieves. The Precision Electroformed cloth used in them is formed by electrodeposition of nickel compound to a base grid to form a mesh with very precise square openings.

All Precision Electroformed sieves meet the requirements of ASTM E161, with tolerances of ±2μm. Each sieve is measured and supplied with a Certificate of Compliance. While the initial price of Electroformed Sieves is substantially higher than woven wire sieves, their accuracy, efficiency and size range often make them a better solution for precision particle sizing operations.

Stacking heights for 8in diameter frames are 2in (50.8mm) and 1in (25.4mm). For 3in frames, stacking heights are 3in (76.2mm) and 1in (25.4mm). The Lines Per Inch (LPI) value in the Specifications Tab indicates the number of openings occurring in one linear inch (25.4mm). Higher LPIs are more fragile while low LPIs have thicker metal, but fewer openings.

8in (203mm) diameter ASTM Precision Electroformed Test Sieve has nickel woven-wire cloth with 60µm opening size and half height stainless steel frame.

Works well for very fine powders when used with Vibratory Sieve Shakers or Sonic Sifters.

Features:

• Greater accuracy of ±2µm for precision particle sizing operations compared to woven wire sieves

The Gilson V8EH-060 is an 8-inch diameter precision electroformed sieve designed for precise particle sizing operations. This sieve features a stainless steel frame and a nickel cloth with a 60-micrometer opening size. It is a half-height sieve, making it ideal for use with very fine powders.

Compared to woven wire sieves, the Gilson V8EH-060 offers greater accuracy with a tolerance of ±2μm. This makes it a reliable reference standard when calibrated with glass beads or other reference materials. It is often the preferred choice for precision particle sizing operations due to its precision and efficiency.

The electroformed sieves meet the requirements of ASTM E161, and each sieve is measured and supplied with a Certificate of Compliance. This ensures that customers can confidently rely on the accuracy and quality of the product.

Stacking heights for the 8-inch diameter frames are available in 2-inch and 1-inch options, allowing for flexibility in particle size analysis. The Lines Per Inch (LPI) value, indicated in the specifications, represents the number of openings occurring in one linear inch. Higher LPIs are more fragile but have more openings, while lower LPIs have thicker metal but fewer openings.

The Gilson V8EH-060 is compatible with Vibratory Sieve Shakers or Sonic Sifters, making it suitable for various applications. It works particularly well with very fine powders, providing accurate and precise results.

In addition to the sieve itself, this product includes a Certificate of Compliance to ensure the standard of quality. Various accessories are available, including an all-stainless steel sieve pan, an extended rim pan, a sieve cover, and a sieve cover with a ring. These accessories help prevent sample loss or contamination during particle sizing operations.

The Gilson V8EH-060 meets several industry standards, including ISO 565, ASTM E161, and ISO 3310-3. This ensures that the sieve is compliant with established specifications and can be relied upon for accurate and consistent results.

With its precision electroformed construction, stainless steel frame, and nickel cloth, the Gilson V8EH-060 is a high-quality sieve designed for precision particle sizing operations. Its accuracy, efficiency, and compatibility with various equipment make it an excellent choice for those seeking reliable and precise results in their particle analysis.
