Simplifying How Doers Get Equipped!
When you’re doing any sort of sieve analysis with an ASTM E11 aggregate test sieve, your method must be compliant with ASTM or ISO standards. These requirements extend not just to the wire mesh used to filter organic and non-organic specimens but also to the frames that hold and stack them together. ASTM test sieves are available in various diameters and heights, full height, half height and intermediate height to accommodate different sample volumes and testing needs.
At Certified Material Testing Products, all our brass frame aggregate sieves and each brass frame test sieve are made of ASTM and ISO compliant materials, brass, stainless steel and cloth. Stainless steel frame options are available for extra durability and ASTM standard compliance. Our test sieve frames and covers nest together according to these national and international specifications from our 3 inch ASTM sieves to 300mm ISO test sieves. When you choose our products you can be sure your civil engineering project will give you accurate results that meet the industry’s highest standards.

Aggregate test sieves are important tools in construction, geology, agriculture and even in some areas of food production and biology. They are used to separate, classify and evaluate various materials from soils and sands to grains and seeds. The efficiency and accuracy of sieve analysis depends on the quality and type of brass frame sieves used.Understanding Aggregate Test Sieves
Aggregate test sieves are designed to sort particles by size and shape through the process of sieving which involves passing particles through openings in a screening medium, commonly referred to as a woven wire mesh. These sieves are essential for size distribution in various particles which is critical for quality control and industry standards compliance.
Design and Woven Wire Mesh Material: Most modern sieves use stainless steel mesh due to its durability and corrosion resistance. Stainless steel is suitable for sieving dry ingredients and liquids, making it very versatile.
Frame Composition: The frames of test sieves are made of stainless steel or brass. A brass frame is less susceptible to magnetic interference and is lighter, while stainless steel frames offer more durability. Stainless steel frame options are available for extra durability and ASTM standard compliance.
Woven Wire Mesh and Sieve Sizes: Sieves come in different sizes and openings to accommodate various requirements. These openings can range from very fine mesh strainer suitable for flour or sand to larger meshes designed to separate stones or coarse particles.
Sieve openings are specified in both millimeters (mm) and inches and models such as 3 1, 3 1 2, 3 8, and 5 16 are available to meet precise particle size analysis requirements. Learn more about 3in Nonmetallic Sieves for accurate laboratory testing.
Construction: In construction industry, mesh sieves are used to analyze components like sand and gravel to ensure they meet specifications for size and shape. This is critical for producing concrete and asphalt with optimal strength and durability.
Agriculture: Mesh sieves with brass frame are used to separate seeds by size or remove foreign bodies from harvested grains. This process is important for both planting and consumption, to ensure purity and uniformity in agricultural products.
Food Industry: In food processing, mesh sieves with brass frame can remove contamination and ensure products like flour or spices are free from unwanted particles, thereby meeting food safety standards.
Geology and Soil Science: Mesh sieves with brass frame are used to classify soil and mineral samples, for research and land management decisions. Particle distribution in soils can greatly affect their use for farming or construction.
Biology and Environmental Science: Mesh sieves with brass frame are used in biological studies to classify organisms or organic by size which can be critical for ecological assessments and environmental monitoring.
Benefits Accuracy and Efficiency: Well designed sieves provide accurate measurements of particle distribution which is critical for many industrial applications.
Versatility: With a range of sieve sizes, users can do various separations from fine powders to larger aggregates.
Traceability: High quality sieves often come with certification that provides traceability which is essential for industry standards and quality control.
Note: A table of specifications is available to help users compare models, prices and features and using compatible pans and sieve covers ensures accurate results.
Limitations Maintenance Needs: Sieves require regular cleaning and maintenance to prevent contamination between samples and ensure accurate results.
Wear and Tear: Over time the stainless steel mesh may stretch or the frame may be damaged which can affect the sieving process.
When selecting a sieve, consider the following: Choose a mesh material that is compatible with the sample being sieved to avoid chemical reactions or contamination.
Mesh Size: The size of the woven wire mesh openings should be suitable for the particles being tested.
Standards Compliance: Ensure the sieve meets any relevant industry standards which can vary depending on the field of application.
Users can choose from various options including different frame diameters and mesh numbers to suit their testing materials and application.
Proper care and handling of sieves is crucial to maintain their precision and lifespan. Cleaning the mesh thoroughly and storing sieves in a way that prevents mesh deformation are must do’s. For metallic sieves, avoid exposure to moisture that can cause rust especially if not made of stainless steel. Regular inspection and proper care can help users save on replacement cost and extend the years of use of their ASTM test sieves.
Aggregate test sieves are essential tools across many industries, providing critical data for production, quality control and research. By choosing the right sieve for the job, taking care of it and understanding its applications and limitations, professionals can get reliable and actionable results. Whether for construction, agriculture or food safety, the right set of sieves can make a big difference, guiding sustainable practices and better products. ASTM test sieves have been trusted for years in quality control and laboratory testing and its compliance to ASTM standard ensures reliable results.
Each sieve is supplied with a certificate of compliance and inspection, verifying that the sieves meet ASTM standard specifications and are traceable by serial number.
