1. Scope
1.1 This document specifies the technical requirements for;
the woven wire test sieve cloth (sieve cloth) used in test sieves,
the construction of test sieves, standard and non-standard test
sieve frame sizes, and test procedures used to inspect sieve
cloth and the test sieves. This Specification applies to test
sieves manufactured with sieve cloth having a nominal aperture size ranging from 125 millimetres (mm) down to 20
micrometres (m).
1.2 Additional reference information can be found in Specifications E161, E323, E2016, and in Test Methods C430 and
E2427.
1.3 The values stated in SI units shall be considered
standard for the dimensions of the sieve cloth openings and the
wire diameters used in the sieve cloth. The values stated in
inch-pound units shall be considered standard with regard to
the sieve frames, pans, and covers.
1.4 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.

Column 3These numbers are only approximate but are in use for reference; the sieve shall be identified by the standard designation in millimetres or micrometres.
Columns 9 and 11See Annex A1, which specifies that all openings will be inspected for test sieves having 15 openings or less.
Columns 9 and 11These number of sample openings are based on an 8-in. diameter test sieve.

7. Test Sieve and Sieve Cloth Documentation and
Certification
7.1 Documentation of the measurement of the openings in
the sieve cloth must assure that the test sieve is traceable and
certifiable. All test sieve certificates must be traceable by the
test sieve serial number. Inspection and Calibration sieves must
also include the date, name and signature of the person
certifying to the test sieve quality.
7.2 Test sieves may be supplied as Compliance, Inspection
or Calibration Sieves.
7.2.1 A Compliance sieve certificate shall state that the test
sieve has been manufactured with sieve cloth that has been
inspected and found to be in compliance with the requirements
of Specification E11. The Certificate does not require any
statistical documentation.
7.2.2 An Inspection sieve certificate shall state at a minimum the value for the average aperture size, separately in both
the warp and shute direction of the sieve cloth. A Certificate
with this inspection data must be supplied.
7.2.3 A Calibration sieve certificate shall state at a minimum
the number of aperture and wire diameters measured, the
average aperture size, standard deviation and average wire
