Sieve Cloth Requirements4.1 Wire cloth used in U.S.A. standard testing sieves meet-ing the specifications shown in Table 1 shall be designated “testgrade”. Test grade sieve cloth shall be woven from stainlesssteel, brass, bronz
30、e, or other suitable wire with a plain weave,except that cloth with openings of 63 m (No. 230) and finermay be woven with a twill weave. For definitions of “plain”and “twill” weave, refer to Specification E 437. The wire shallnot be coated or plated.4.2 The openings of the sieve cloth of successive
31、sievesprogress from a base of 1 mm in the ratio of approximately 4=2 :1.4.3 All measurements of openings and wire diameters shallbe made along the midpoints of the opening as shown in Fig.1.4.4 Sieve cloth shall conform to the dimensional require-ments of Table 1. The average opening (distance betwe
32、enparallel wires measured at the center of the opening), in the x(horizontal) and y (vertical) directions measured separately,shall conform to the values in Column 1, within the permissiblevariation in average opening size shown in Column 4. Notmore than 5 % of the openings shall exceed the value sh
33、own inColumn 5. The maximum individual opening size shall notexceed the value shown in Column 6.4.4.1 The average diameter of the x (horizontal) and y(vertical) wires, measured separately, shall conform to thediameter in Column 7 within the tolerances in Footnote A ofTable 1.4.5 Wires shall be crimp
34、ed in such a manner that they willbe rigid when in use.4.6 There shall be no punctures or obvious defects in thecloth.5. Test Sieve Frames5.1 General RequirementsFrames for wire cloth sievesshall be constructed in such a manner as to be rigid. The wirecloth shall be mounted on the frame without dist
35、ortion,looseness, or waviness. To prevent the material being sievedfrom catching in the joint between the wire cloth and the frame,the joint shall be filled smoothly or constructed so that thematerial will not be trapped.5.2 Standard FramesSieve frames shall be circular withnominal diameters of 3, 6
36、, 8, 10, or 12 in. (76, 152, 203, 254,or 305 mm) as may be specified. The dimensions shall conformto the requirements in Table 2. Frames shall be made fromnoncorrosive material such as brass or stainless steel and be ofseamless construction.5.2.1 The bottom of the frame shall be constructed so as to
37、provide an easy sliding fit with any sieve frame of the samenominal diameter conforming to the specified dimensions.5.2.2 The joint or fillet at the connection of the sieve clothto the frame will provide a minimum clear sieving surface witha diameter equal to the nominal diameter less 0.5 in. (13 mm
38、).NOTE 3Attention is called to Test Method C 430, which containsrequirements for 2 in. (51 mm) diameter sieves used in the mineralindustry, especially the cement group.5.3 Nonstandard FramesOther sieve frames may be ei-ther square, rectangular, or circular. The frame may have thesieve cloth permanen
39、tly installed, or may be designed to permitreplacement. The provisions of 5.1 apply.NOTE 4While there are no requirements for nesting of nonstandardsieve frames, care should be applied in use to prevent loss of materialduring analysis.5.4 Pans and CoversPans and covers for use with sievesshall be ma
40、de so as to nest with the sieves. Pans with extendedrims (“stacking skirts”) shall be furnished when specified. Thepans and covers shall conform to the dimensions in Table 2.6. Product Marking6.1 Each test sieve shall bear a label marked with thefollowing information:6.1.1 U.S.A. standard testing si
