Analysis is a widely used technique to determine the particle of a material. This involves passing a sample through a series of sieves with different mesh sizes, effectively separating the particles into distinct fractions. The data obtained from this process can be used to calculate various parameters such as mean, median particle size and overall particle size distribution.
This is used across many industries such as mining, food processing and pharmaceuticals. In mining for example, sieve analysis ensures aggregates meet specific requirements for concrete production. In pharmaceuticals, it helps in achieving the desired consistency and quality of powders used in medications. The simplicity, cost effectiveness and accuracy of sieve analysis makes it a must have tool for quality control, product development and research. Test sieves are measured with precision instruments to ensure they meet specific ASTM and ISO standards, to verify their accuracy and compliance.
By knowing the particle size distribution, companies can ensure their products meet the required to perform as expected. This not only gives better product quality but also efficient manufacturing process and customer satisfaction.
Mesh size refers to the number of openings per linear inch (25.4 mm) in a woven wire test sieve. This is critical in determining the particle size distribution. Essentially, the mesh size means how many wires or openings are in one linear inch.
Our ASTM test sieve has many benefits that give you accurate and reliable particle size analysis. Mesh numbers are expressed in terms of openings per inch, while nominal sizes can be expressed in either millimeters or micrometers.

Since all our sieves are made to ASTM standard, you are getting quality no matter what. Consider the use and application of the sieves and you can make an informed choice and select the right products for your needs.
Using the ASTM test sieve correctly is important to get accurate results. This quick guide should help you to choose the right sieve by explaining the testing process.
Choose the right sieve: Select an ASTM sieve with the right mesh size, allowing the desired particles to pass through. Also consider the diameter, height and brass or steel construction.2. Check the sieve cloth: Ensure the sieve cloth is securely and evenly installed on the frame. It should be taut and free from wrinkles or distortion; inspect the cloth before each test to ensure its integrity. Also check it’s free of debris.
Install the sieve: Place the largest mesh size at the top of the stack, nest other sieves in descending order of mesh size. At the bottom ensure there is a sieve pan to collect the remaining debris. Check there is a tight seal between frames.
Sieve the sample: Weigh the sample correctly, then pour it on top of the sieve stack. Activate the shaker or manually shake the stack in a controlled manner, ensure the sample is agitated to pass through the mesh.
The ASTM test sieve can give you precise results when used with the right testing procedure.

Standards and configurations are important to get accurate and reliable results in analysis. The most common standards for sieves are ASTM E11 and ISO 3310/BS 410. These standards outline the technical requirements for sieves including cloth and testing procedures. Also these standards define tolerances, so aperture dimensions and size can be used interchangeably across both ASTM and ISO standards.
Sieves come in various configurations to suit different testing needs. Woven wire sieves for example are made from high quality wire mesh and are used for sieving dry powders, granules and small particles. These sieves are known for their precision and durability, they are popular in many industries.On the other hand perforated plate sieves are made from high quality steel or stainless steel and are used for both wet and dry sieving applications. These sieves are ideal for materials that require a more robust sieving medium such as liquids, pastes and larger particles.
By following standards like ASTM E11 companies can ensure their sieves meet strict quality and performance criteria. This compliance ensures the sieves give accurate and consistent results which is critical for particle analysis.
Sieve configurations are key to getting precise and efficient sieve analysis. Woven wire test sieves come in various configurations, frames made from brass, stainless steel and plastic. These frames are fitted with woven wire cloth made from high quality wire mesh such as stainless steel, brass or nylon.
The material choice affects the sieve’s durability and suitability for different applications. Stainless steel sieves are highly resistant to corrosion and wear, they are ideal for heavy use in harsh environments. Brass sieves offer excellent conductivity and are used in specific laboratory settings. Nylon sieves are lightweight and abrasion resistant, suitable for certain types of particle analysis. These configurations are designed to withstand heavy use and are easy to clean, ensuring longevity and performance in various testing scenarios.
Regular maintenance and verification of sieves is important to ensure their accuracy and reliability over time. Sieves are used rigorously and their performance can be affected by wear and tear. Therefore it’s essential to have a maintenance and verification schedule.
Sieve verification involves measuring the mesh and inspecting the sieve for any signs of damage or wear. This can be done using sieve verifiers or by sending the sieves to a laboratory for calibration. Ensuring the mesh is within the specified tolerance is critical for particle size analysis accuracy.
In addition to verification, regular maintenance is necessary to keep the sieves in good condition. This includes cleaning the sieves thoroughly after each use to remove any residual particles that could affect future tests. Proper storage is also important to prevent damage and contamination. Sieves should be stored in a clean dry environment and handled with care to avoid bending or distorting the mesh. By following these maintenance and verification practices companies can extend the life of their test sieves and get precise and reliable results. This not only improves particle size analysis but also the overall testing process.
Converting between ASTM and other standards is important for accurate and efficient sieve analysis across different regions and industries. ASTM E11 is the standard for woven wire test sieve cloth and test sieves, ISO 3310/BS 410 is the technical requirements and testing procedures for test sieves.
The technical requirements in these standards include specifications for cloth, sieve construction and testing procedures. To convert between ASTM and other standards you can use a conversion chart or table. For example a No. 4 sieve in the ASTM standard is equivalent to a 4.75 mm sieve in the ISO/BS standard. This equivalence ensures the sieves meet the same performance criteria regardless of the standard used, for consistent and reliable particle size analysis across different testing environments.
What is the difference between standard sieves and ASTM sieves?
Standard sieves and ASTM sieves are similar but made to a different specification. ASTM sieves must follow the strict standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials, for traceability and compliance. Standard sieves may vary in construction and may not meet the same level of standardization. ASTM sieves may be more expensive but it’s worth it for the quality guarantee. Note that both metric and U.S. standard sizes are used in specifications, ASTM E11 standards are often referenced for consistency and accuracy.
Do ASTM test sieves give accurate particle analysis?
Yes, ASTM test sieves are the best way to get accurate particle analysis. Made to strict ASTM standards the mesh has precise sizing for reliable results. Plus the brass and steel used are chosen to withstand corrosion and wear and tear, making these sieves durable and practical for various uses.
What is the maximum tolerance in ASTM test sieves?
ASTM E11 standards specify the maximum tolerance in sieve openings for accurate measurements and proper sieve design.
