Full title and description
Standard Specification for Woven Wire Test Sieve Cloth and Test Sieves — ASTM E11-24 (adjunct). This specification defines the technical requirements, tolerances, and inspection procedures for woven wire sieve cloth and for the construction and calibration of laboratory and production test sieves used to classify materials by particle size.
Abstract
ASTM E11‑24 covers requirements for sieve cloth and for the design, construction, and inspection of test sieves used in particle‑size classification. The standard specifies tolerances for sieve‑cloth openings (average, maximum, and maximum standard deviation), different sampling confidence levels for Compliance, Inspection, and Calibration test sieves, and procedures for measuring and inspecting openings and wire diameters. It applies to sieves with nominal aperture sizes from 125 mm down to 20 µm and clarifies unit conventions (SI preferred for apertures/wire diameters; inch‑pound for frames, pans, and covers).

Scope
This document specifies technical requirements for woven wire test sieve cloth, the construction of test sieves (standard and non‑standard frame sizes), and test procedures used to inspect sieve cloth and test sieves. It applies to sieves manufactured with nominal aperture sizes ranging from 125 mm down to 20 µm and references related ASTM specifications and test methods for additional guidance. SI units are primary for cloth apertures and wire diameters; inch‑pound units apply to frames, pans, and covers.
Key topics and requirements
- Specification of aperture tolerances: average opening, maximum opening, and maximum standard deviation for sieve‑cloth openings.
- Sampling and inspection confidence levels defined separately for Compliance, Inspection, and Calibration sieves (Calibration requires larger sample counts).
- Defined nominal aperture size range: from 125 mm to 20 µm.
- Requirements for frame construction, mounting of cloth without distortion, and pan/cover dimensions (material and nesting/stacking considerations).
- Inspection procedures and recommended statistical treatment (truncated Gaussian/normal distribution justification for tolerances).
- Unit conventions and cross‑references to related ASTM specifications and test methods for sieving and sieve calibration.
Typical use and users
Used by testing laboratories, quality control and R&D departments, sieve manufacturers, calibration service providers, and industries performing particle‑size analysis (minerals and aggregates, soils, pharmaceuticals, food powders, chemical powders, and other particulate materials). Practitioners use E11‑24 to manufacture, inspect, calibrate, and document test sieves and sieve cloth to consistent, repeatable tolerances.
Related standards
ASTM E11‑24 references and is commonly used alongside: ASTM E161, ASTM E323, ASTM E2016, ASTM E2427, and Test Method C430 (among other related documents for sieve calibration, sampling, and particle analysis procedures). It supersedes the previous E11 editions (for example E11‑22).
