ASTM E11 is the standard specification published by ASTM International for woven wire Test Sieves used in Laboratory Sieve applications and Particle Size Analysis. The ASTM E11 standard defines requirements for Mesh Opening, Wire Diameter, manufacturing Tolerance, and dimensional accuracy to ensure consistent laboratory results. These precision sieves are widely used for Sieve Analysis, particle grading, and Particle Distribution testing across construction, mining, food processing, pharmaceutical, chemical, and research laboratories.

ASTM E11 stainless steel laboratory test sieve

Our ASTM E11 standard test sieve utilizes precision woven wire cloth manufactured from stainless steel or brass. Every sieve is designed to meet ASTM specifications while also being available in configurations compatible with ISO3310. The complete range covers ASTM sieve sizes from No.4 (4.75 mm) to No.635 (20 μm), providing reliable screening performance for both dry and wet materials.

Benefits of Using ASTM E11 Standard Test Sieves

Using ASTM E11 standard test sieves ensures accurate and consistent laboratory data. The sieve aperture tolerance is strictly controlled within ±3%, and the wire diameter error is ≤0.02mm. These stringent production limits allow for repeated verification of sieving results across laboratories and production sites. Quality control personnel can directly benchmark against international raw material supply chain parameters, avoiding data deviations. The sieve frames are standardly available in two mainstream nominal sizes: 76mm and 203mm. The rigid, one-piece frame reduces sample loss under vibration conditions, and the seamless inner wall eliminates dead zones for fine powder accumulation. Adhesive powder can be quickly cleaned using ultrasonic equipment, balancing testing accuracy with ease of maintenance.

Because every ASTM Mesh is manufactured under strict quality control, each sieve delivers repeatable Particle Distribution results during laboratory testing. The precisely controlled Mesh Opening and calibrated Wire Diameter minimize measurement errors, making the sieve suitable for routine quality inspection as well as research laboratories requiring high-accuracy Sieve Analysis.

ASTM E11 Sieve Frame Dimensions and Specifications

Each ASTM E11 test sieve is available as a standard Compliance Sieve, Inspection Sieve, or Calibration Sieve depending on the required accuracy level. Inspection sieves undergo optical verification of mesh openings, while calibration sieves receive additional measurements with complete traceable reports for laboratory quality systems.

ASTM E11 Standard Sieves Price

The pricing of ASTM E11 standard test sieves depends on the sieve body specifications, mesh fineness, and certification level. Standard 8-inch stainless steel sieves, compatible with general coarse to medium mesh sizes from No. 4 to No. 100, are generally priced between $45 and $85 per sieve. Ultrafine sieves from No. 200 to No. 635, due to their more intricate weaving process and higher production difficulty, are priced between $90 and $180 per sieve. If the laboratory system requires an optical calibration report traceable to US national standards and an authoritative independent testing certificate, an additional certification service fee of $40 to $75 will be charged on top of the base price.

The final price also depends on whether customers require a standard compliance certificate, an Inspection Sieve report, or a certified Calibration Sieve with traceable measurement documentation.

ASTM E11 Sieve Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How to distinguish between conforming, inspection, and calibration grade sieves?

A: Conforming grade sieves are mass-produced according to ASTM E11 and come with a batch compliance certificate; inspection grade sieves involve sampling and optically testing the aperture size and retaining the measured data; calibration grade sieves measure twice the number of mesh openings as inspection grade sieves, with the most stringent testing standards and higher data accuracy.

Q: Can this standard sieve be used for wet screening?

A: The stainless steel material is corrosion-resistant and can be wet-washed with water or neutral reagents to sieve fine materials without damaging the sieve frame and mesh.

Q: How often should test sieves be recertified?

A: For frequent sieving of hard sand and gravel, it is recommended to recertify and replace them every 6-12 months. For sieving low-abrasion organic powders, the recertification period can be extended to 24 months.

Q: What is the difference between an Inspection Sieve and a Calibration Sieve?

A:An Inspection Sieve undergoes optical measurement of representative mesh openings, while a Calibration Sieve receives a much larger number of measured openings and includes a traceable calibration report. Calibration sieves provide the highest level of measurement confidence for critical laboratory testing.

Q: Can ASTM E11 test sieves comply with ISO3310?

A:Yes. Many laboratory sieves are manufactured to ASTM E11 dimensions while also meeting the requirements of ISO3310. This allows laboratories serving international markets to perform standardized Sieve Analysis using globally recognized specifications.
