Title
Standard Specification for Wire Cloth and Sieves for Testing Purposes
ASTM International
Publication Date:
May 1, 2004
Scope:
This specification covers the requirements for design and construction
of testing sieves using a
medium of woven wire cloth mounted in a frame for use in testing for
the classification of
materials according to designated particle size (See Note 1 and Note
2), and wire cloth, meeting
the specifications of Table 1, to be designated test grade wire cloth.
All subsequent references to
wire cloth shall mean test grade wire cloth. Methods for checking
testing sieves and wire cloth for
conformance to this specification are included in the annex.
NOTE 1 - Complete instructions and procedures on the use and
calibration of testing sieves are
contained in Manual 32.(Footnote 2) Note that sieve analysis results
from two testing sieves of the
same sieve designation may not be the same because of the variances in
sieve opening permitted by
this specification. To minimize the differences in sieve analysis
results, the use of testing
sieves matched on a performance basis is suggested. Manual 32(Footnote
2) also contains a list of
all published ASTM standards on sieve analysis procedures for specific
materials or industries.
This list may be referenced to obtain statements of precision and bias
for sieve analysis of
specific materials.
NOTE 2 - For other types of sieves, see Specification E 323 and
Specification E 161.
The values stated in SI units shall be considered standard for the
dimensions of the wire cloth
openings and the diameter of the wires used in the wire cloth. The
values stated in inch-pound
units shall be considered standard with regard to the sieve frames.
The following precautionary statement refers only to the test method
portion, Annex A1, of this
specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns, if any,
associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this
standard to establish
appropriate safety and health practices and determine the
applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to use.
