Test sieves with nominal aperture size below 4mm shall have a metal wire cloth with apertures conforming to ISO 3310-1. NOTE Test sieves of perforated metal plate with nominal aperture size of 4 mm and above have better sieving accuracy than test sieves of metal wire cloth with the same nominal size of apertures, due to tighter manufacturing tolerances. 5 Nominal size of apertures for applicable test sieves Nominal size of apertures for applicable test sieves are specified in Table 1. They are taken from the series R 20 in ISO 565:1990.BS EN 933-2:2020 EN 933-2:2020 (E) Table 1 — Applicable test sieves - Nominal size of apertures Dimensions in millimetres est a Plate | Test sieves of metal wire cloth = 315 125 28 112 25 100 2.24 90 2 80 18 7 16 63 14 56 1,25 50 112 45 1 40 090 355 0,800 315 0,710 28 0,630 25 0560 224 0,500 20 0,450 18 0,400 16 0,355 4 0315 128 0,280 11,2 0,250 10 0224 9 0,200 8 0,180 7A 0,160 63 0,140 56 0,125 5 oz 45 0,100 4 0,090 355 0,080 0071 0,063 NOTE Bold figures represent the principal series of nominal sizes of apertures for test sieves.BS EN 933-2:2020 EN 933-2:2020 (E) Bibliography 180 565:1990, Test sieves - Metal wire cloth, perforated metal plate and electroformed sheet - Nominal sizes of openingsNO COPYING \WITHOUT BS!
