Summary: There has always been confusion about the standards applied to industrial sieves. This is short delineation of the standards set out for the manufacture of test sieves. Maybe it will help with understanding Copyright (c) 2009 CSC Scientific Co Sieving in its most elemental definition is the separation of fine material from coarse material by means of a meshed or perforated surface. The technique was used as far back as the early Egyptian days as a way to size grains. These early sieves were made of woven reeds and grasses. Today the sieve test is the technique used most often for analyzing particle-size distribution. Although at first look the sieving process appears to be elementary, in practice, there is a science and art involved in producing reliable and consistent results. In order to better understand sievi
