FOREWORD
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard ( Part 1 ) covers test sieves, with screening medium of
woven-wire cloth, for use in testing in the classification of materials
according to particle size.
1.2 It applies to test sieves having aperture sizes from 125 mm down to
0032 mm ( 32 pm).
2. DESIGNATION
2.1 Test sieves of metal wire cloth are designated by the nominal size of
3. SIEVING MEDIUM
3.1 Materials for Ilevial Media - The wire-cloths for test sieves shall
be manufactured from any of the materials given in Table 1. Plated or
coated wires shall not be permitted in the test sieves.
NOT. - The grades of the material. used shall be declared by the manufacturer, i r 10 desired by the purchaser.

3.2 Wire Diameter - After the cloth is mounted in the sieve the average wire diameter at different positions across the sieving surface shalJ be
uniform in order that the limits on aperture size can be obeyed. The
preferred wire diameters d ( ste Fig. 1 ) and the permissible range of
choice of wire diameters dmu. and dm1D are given in col 5, 6 and 7 of
rrable 2.
3.3 Weave - Wire cloth shall be woven to produce uniform square apertures within the tolerances given in 3.... All aperture sizes apply for plain
weave, but for aperture sizes of 63 lAm and smaller, twilled weave is
permissible for aperture sizes of 400 nun and greater the wire shall be
crimped before weaving.
