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 millimeters (mm) down to 20 micrometers (&#956;m). <br>Additional reference information can be found in Specifications E 161, E 323, E 2016, and in Test Methods C 430 and E 2427. <br>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. <br><em>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.</em>
