ASTM E11
Full Name
ASTM E11 – Standard Specification for Woven Wire Test Sieve Cloth and Test Sieves
Scope
ASTM E11 is an essential standard for industries requiring precise particle size analysis. This standard outlines the requirements for manufacturing and inspecting woven wire test sieves used to classify granular materials.
Key aspects covered by ASTM E11 include:
- Materials: specifies the use of corrosion-resistant wire cloth materials like stainless steel, brass, and bronze for sieve construction.
- Wire diameter & mesh opening: dictates tolerances for wire diameter and mesh opening sizes to ensure accuracy and repeatability in particle sizing.
- Frame construction: details requirements for sieve frame dimensions, material, and construction to guarantee durability and proper fit within sieve shakers.
- Sieve marking: specifies mandatory markings on the sieve frame, including the mesh size, wire diameter, ASTM E11 designation, and manufacturer identification.
- Inspection and testing: outlines procedures for verifying compliance with the standard, including dimensional checks and optical inspection of the mesh.
