1. Scope*
1.1 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 millimetres (mm) down to 20 micrometres
(m).
1.2 Additional reference information can be found in Specifications E161, E323, E2016, and in Test Methods C430 and
E2427.

Column 3These numbers are only approximate but are in use for reference; the sieve shall be identified by the standard designation in millimetres or micrometres.
Columns 9 and 11See Annex A1, which specifies that all openings will be inspected for test sieves having 15 openings or less.
Columns 9 and 11These number of sample openings are based on an 8-in. diameter test sieve.

The use of a backing cloth will affect the sieve performance.
Test sieves with a backing cloth can only be supplied as
Compliance Sieves.
7. Test Sieve and Sieve Cloth Documentation and
Certification
7.1 Documentation of the measurement of the openings in
the sieve cloth must assure that the test sieve is traceable and
certifiable. All test sieve certificates must be traceable by the
test sieve serial number. Inspection and Calibration sieves must
also include the date, name and signature of the person
certifying to the test sieve quality.
7.2 Test sieves may be supplied as Compliance, Inspection,
or Calibration Sieves.
7.2.1 A Compliance sieve certificate shall state that the test
sieve has been manufactured with sieve cloth that has been
inspected and found to be in compliance with the requirements
of Specification E11. The Certificate does not require any
statistical documentation.
7.2.2 An Inspection sieve certificate shall state at a minimum the value for the average aperture size, separately in both
the warp and shute direction of the sieve cloth. A Certificate
with this inspection data must be supplied.
SUPPLEMENTARY REQUIREMENTS
The following supplementary requirements shall apply only when specified by the purchaser in the
contract or order.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES
Committee E29 has identified the location of selected changes to this standard since the last issue (E11 13)
that may impact the use of this standard. (Approved March 15, 2015.)
Table 1, and clarify that applicable tolerances must be calculated if other than the stated minimum number of sample
openings are used.
(6) Revised 6.3.2 to add clarification of the fit for stacked
sieves and revised 6.3.3 to add an appropriate tolerance for
larger sieves, thus incorporating a minimum clear sieving
surface based on standard manufacturing practice for larger
sieves.
(7) Revised 6.4.2 to add incorporating discussion of sieves
with backing cloth, as backing cloth is commonly used but was
not addressed in the standard.

(1) Added new term backing cloth (3.1.2) and definition which
is required based on new discussion in 6.4.
(2) Added 4.1.4.1 for discussion of sieve designations (formerly in 5.4), editorial revision for clarification of 4.2 (on
frame dimensions) and 4.3 (on other nonstandard description).
(3) Revised Table 2 to delete column for Outside on Skirt
dimensions and correct SI unit tolerances, as the outside skirt
dimensions should be determined as in accordance with 6.3.2
and the SI unit tolerances were incorrect, rounded approximations.
(4) Deleted 5.4 and 5.5, as the content of 5.4 was moved to
3.1.11.3.1 as a Discussion and 5.5 is redundant to 6.3.1.
(5) Revised 6.1.5.3 and 6.1.6 to add clarification, which was
requested to clarify the standard deviation tolerances shown in
